It seems that as soon as November rolls around for many of us we get really busy with children’s activities and the start of the holiday season with Thanksgiving, shopping for Christmas, decorating, plays, shows, family and non stop invitations to Christmas parties and activities. We can make a career out of attending events all through the Christmas season without taking a moment to recharge our batteries.
This Christmas season we are only 9 days in to the month, take a moment to write a list of what you have left to do, organize your time to allow some down time daily for yourself to just sip on coffee , tea, or hot cocoa uninterrupted, read, spend a few extra minutes just enjoying your significant other or your kids and pets.
Take another moment and write yourself a Christmas card and stick it in your stocking addressed “a Christmas gift to me” and enclose money/gift card to do whatever you like to do whether a pedicure, manicure, massage, facial, movie or anything that is a “just you” activity that will help you relax and enjoy the moment!

Studies have shown that couples who kiss often are up to eight times less likely to feel stressed or depressed. http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/14/health/upwave-kissing/
So tonight take a moment and meet your sweetie under the mistletoe and make it a habit to meet there often for a lifetime of good health.
At our house one year we forgot to put the mistletoe away and we have for the last few years enjoyed it staying out all year round!

Sometimes don’t you wish that you had elves that would take all the gifts you bought and wrapped them for you nicely? Well, in a busy mom’s world I am sure that is a great idea. To help you get started on wrapping, play some Christmas music that will put you in the Christmas spirit with some egg nog or hot cocoa. Bending over on the floor can be hard on your back while wrapping gifts. Consider wrapping on your kitchen table, dining room table or counter while standing on a mat and wearing comfortable shoes or wrap gifts while sitting down. Following good body mechanics can save you a backache later on. Another time-saving tip is to check the stores that you are purchasing your gifts from, some of them offer free gift wrapping, some charge a nominal fee and donate to a charity and sometimes the charity itself is at the store wrapping. Happy Gift Wrapping!

The least thing that people want to do at times is start to exercise during the holidays because it is so busy and tempting with all the treats that are around. Many people also eat to fill a void that is in their life when they are home alone or they lack motivation to do something like working out at a gym or even walking around the neighborhood. This Christmas season, look for someone who you know is struggling with working out and encourage them. Make a committment to meet them at the gym or park every day. This will make the person accountable to you and at the same time for you. Your friend will succeed and do better because of your encouragement.

Many people ask me what makes me genuinely happy? I believe that only you can make yourself happy if you choose to be. It might sound simple to say just be happy, but being positive is one way that helps. It is easy to complain about family, friends, co-workers or a spouse. This Christmas season as we enter a new year, let’s not be so quick to complain about others, let’s talk about the good that someone does. Sometimes it really takes a lot of effort on our part especially if the person is not nice, but we can ALL do it! So the secret to genuine happiness is being generous in our love, sharing it with others and focusing on what we have to give and not what we do not have. It is not always about our financial status but our spiritual status. Our love should radiate out from inside and spread to others.
