The following tips are from among the 432 suggestions listed in
The Little Book of Christmas Joys
These are a few of my favorites:
#66 * Take pictures after you've finished decorating your home. Not only will they be fun to look at later on, but you will have a visual reminder to help you decorate next year.
#163 * Throughout the holiday season, give your family the gift of a sweet disposition.
#265 * Add a note of appreciation to the Christmas card you give your child's teacher.
(As a former teacher, personal notes of thanks were truly precious gifts which I have kept and reread often.)
#323 * Smile at police officers, fire fighters, emergency personnel, and security guards. Thank them for being on the job during the holidays.
(Same for those who work in hospitals, nursing homes, and public transportation. Many people work on the holidays.)
#379 * Don't try to do everything yourself. Remember, even Santa needs helpers.
#425 * On New Year's Day, light three candles and think about the three things that happened the past year for which you are most thankful.
