Showing Christmas Spirit

Are you the only one who seems to be excited about Christmas in your home?

No need to fret. You can spread the Christmas spirit by encouraging everyone around you to get in on the fun. Here are some tips to get everyone as giddy with excitement as you:

1. Be nice.

People are always more patient with someone who is nice. And somehow, it can be contagious. Just setting the mood can make everyone cooperative.

2. Think about giving.

Some people love Christmas because they think they can get so many presents. How about thinking of others instead? Once your family sees how generous you've been, they might be tempted to do the same. More people giving means Christmas cheer is spreading.

3. Decorate.

You don't need to spend a fortune on Christmas lights all over the house. Simple greenery, a Nativity set or lanterns will serve as reminders that it is a seaon to be joyful.

4. Send out greetings.

Write Christmas cards, send friendly text messages or greet all your friends on social media. Hearing from loved ones never seems to get old.

5. Share in the work load.

If you noticed how stressed out your parents are with all the Christmas preparations, help them out. Sometimes, it's the stress that comes with the holidays that brings people down.

6. Remember what Christmas is all about.

Why do we even celebrate Christmas? It's always a good thing to be reminded about the reason we're all celebrating or else our celebrations will be meaningless. Read up and spread the word.

A very merry Christmas to all of you!
