1. Sweet treats to warm the heart: It's that time of year when everyone
wants to eat, and then eat some more. During the holidays
everyone loves to have sweet indulgences. So give that special someone a little
cheer in the form of fudge, seasonal cookies, cakes and pies.
2. Glitz and glamour: It's an American/Christian tradition to put trees in
our homes. This is the time when we can decorate to our heart's desire.
Ornaments are usually red, green or candy canes. But don't stop there. Go all
out with decorations that suit your style.
3. It might not be the most fun, but it needs doing: Chores are among the
least favorite parts of life. And they never seem to end. But, if you offer a
helping hand to someone, you might just get something in return.
4. Dress for success: You absolutely need to look stylish for the holidays.
And it's a lot harder than you'd think to match red and green. A simple gold
necklace can spice things up. A wool scarf or coat with some cool makeup could
even do the trick. Bright colors might not be in right now, so go with the
earthy tones.
5. A good attitude: No family wants to be around someone who is a humbug. Be
nice and grateful that it's the holiday season. Think about faith, and how it
brings people together and puts people in a good mood.
