Rediscover the spirit
Suffering from burnout reeks before the
holidays arrive? Sick of the crowds, confu-
sion and commercialism long before
December 25? This year, give yourself and
your family the gift of a happier, more
relaxed holiday. The following tips will help
you rediscover the Christmas spirit.
Simplify shopping. Make a gift list and
stick to it as closely as possible. Try to think
of personalized gifts with long-lasting ap-
peal. Group gift selections by store and head
for a shoppingmall or department store °
where you can make most purchases. Set
aside one to two days for shopping,
Wrap as you buy. Don't gift wrap on
Christmas Eve — that's the time you'll want
to put your feet up before the busy day.
Wrap, the children's gifts first to keep them
safe from prying eyes and invite them to
help wrap other family presents.
Even young children can do creative, per-
sonalized packaging. Display the decorated
packages to add to the festive atmosnhPrP.
Find pleasure in giving. Thoughtful atten-
tion to your gift selections pays off in the
heartfelt pleasure and enthusiasm of the
recipient. Let the children in your household
decide on the "perfect" gift for Mom, Dad
or 'grandparents. Involving the children
helps them experience the special pleasure
ingiving a gift. What better way to capture
the holiday spirit?
Take time for fun. Schedule Christmas
dinner to allow for sit-down time with family
and friends. Set aside time to let the
children demonstrate their new toys. Enjoy
a look at the gift book or sing a carol around
the piano.
Give of yourself at Christmas
Are your Christmas spirits high and your
bank account low? Don't sit and fret over
how you are going to manage to purchase all
of the gifts you want to give; just look inside
yourself and you'll come up with one of the
nicest Christmas present ideas ever!
To those close friends and relatives who
mean so much to you, why not offer ...
yourself! You could give a friend a month's
worth of cleaning, laundry, .sewing or fix -
ups.
It's a lovely way of saying "Merry
Christmas" to someone special.
