Make Christmas Memorable

2009 is the year to focus on a holiday filled with love and spirit and the joy of celebrating with family and friends.  After all, the most important part of this season is the wonderful memories that we have of time well spent.  That’s why it is important to focus on the mood, activities, food and gifts that create memories that last forever.

These are our instructions:
1.    Close your ideas and dream about what makes you the happiest at the holiday season. Picture what your house would look like, how it would smell, what kinds of events you can create for yourself and family, and the gifts that will make this last forever.  Remember less is more.
2.    Make some special flower arrangements, collections of treasured things, or anything else you can create and place them throughout the house.  Make sure that you see something beautiful and merry everywhere you look.
3.    Plan to bake something that everyone loves to eat.  Have all family members participate in this event.
4.    Make memories with a treasured hot chocolate evening where everyone gathers together and talks about the best thing that happened to them this year.  Add some flavor with singing a few songs and you have a special time.
5.    Plan on taking a family shopping trip.  Let everyone wander around together as you select gifts for grandparents and friends.  It gives a good showcase for what to buy each other.
6.    Whenever everyone is tired, make it a down time to rest—whether it is quietly in one’s own room or collectively in the family room.
7.    Christmas is the season for thinking about others.  Find a place to provide some good works or charity and let everyone participate.
8.    Call up old friends and dear family from afar and catch up.
9.    Purchase gifts that hold pictures of your happy times for each member to treasure.  www.hourpowerwatches.com is a special website for capturing the moment.
10.    Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy the wonder of another year to be happy and celebrate a holiday that is so important.
