Follow Santa's top tips for a magical Christmas to remember year after year.
Decorate with Joy
Be sure to invite all family members to join in while decorating your home. Try to incorporate family traditions into your decorations. Perhaps, your family has a special tree topper, or a homemade ornament. Don't forget to use it and take some time to reflect on what makes it special to you.
Christmas comes but once a year, go all out! Make your home magical with beautiful decorations. They can even be homemade, or brought in from outdoors, such as pine cones, berries, or greenery.
Bake with Love
The aroma of fresh baked goods brings a warmth to your home that incorporates the spirit of Christmas. Bake all the sweet treats you want. They also make for great gifts for coworkers, neighbors, or family. Plus you can spend some wonderful quality time with loved ones while baking pies, cookies, and all the Christmas treats you desire. Try not to forget Santa's cookies too!
Give from the Heart
Choose gifts that come from the heart. That may mean a homemade gift, or store bought. But be sure to make it special for the person you are giving it to.
Santa suggests surprising someone with a gift that you wouldn't normally buy for. This could be a coworker, neighbor, or postal worker. Make it thoughtful and the recipient will surely feel the magic of Christmas.
Spread Christmas Cheer
Find multiple ways to share kindness and positivity this Christmas. You could donate to a local charity that you're passionate about. Perhaps they need volunteers during the busy holiday season and you may have some extra time to help out.
Santa also encourages neighborly kindness. Offer to rake the leaves for an elderly neighbor or you could give them a small gift, such as a nice holiday card. Just something simple to continue to exercise spreading Christmas cheer.
Practice Gratitude
Remember to count your blessings. Santa says it's important to remember to be grateful for all that you have. Also, be sure to make it known how much you appreciate others when they think of you with a gift, or their own act of kindness.
Believe in the Magic of Christmas
