In the rush of the holidayseason, it’s easy to forget whatthe holidays are about. Makesure to spread some cheerand to make the season extrafestive for your family andfriends.
Here are some fun ideas toensure your holiday season isa joyous one that brings outthe best in you!
� Hang a wreath. Even if
you don’t get to the lights orthe tree, a simple live wreathwill transform your homefrom Grinch-worthy toSanta-welcome.
The wonderful scent willlet visitors know upon arrivalthat you’re in the spirit of theseason.
� Send holiday cards early.Start spreading cheer by get-ting your holiday greetings
into your recipients’ hands assoon as possible. Ideally, holi-day cards should be mailedthe Friday afterThanksgiving, according tothe experts at online sta-tionery store Minted.com. Ifyour cards are mailed early,people actually have time tonotice and appreciate them. Ifyou need more time and flex-ibility, sending a Happy New
Year card is a great option. � Host a stamping /
addressing party. Eggnog,fresh cookies, envelopes,stamps and address lists areall you need for a festive, yetproductive evening!
Turn on some carols andyou’re ready to tackle thistask. Invite some friends andchat between writing person-al notes on each card or enlist
Make your holiday season extra festive
children to help stamp andseal!
� Throw a cookie party.’Tis the season to indulgeyour sweet tooth. But if it’stoo much work to makesugar cookies, butter cook-ies, molasses drops, ginger-bread and thumbprints allby yourself, throw a partywhere everyone brings aplate of cookies! Send outinvitations to make the nightextra special and ask gueststo RSVP with the type ofcookie they’ll bring, so youdon’t end up with four typesof peppermint bark!
� Display holiday cards.Colorful cards act as instant,free decorative pieces. Themantle is an obvious choice,but if you don’t have one,hang a piece of string andclip cards to it with clothes-pins. Bonus points for red orgreen pins!
� Send personalizedthank you cards. Justbecause the season must enddoesn’t mean you need tostop spreading cheer. Whynot order personalized notecards along with yourChristmas cards for theinevitable thank you notes tocome? Write notes for giftsreceived and for the pleasureof attending parties or din-ners.
While perfecting yourmanners, order personalizedchildren’s stationery so kidscan learn this important dis-cipline. Festive cards withtheir names make this choremore fun. You can find per-sonalized cards for adultsand kids online at such web-sites as Minted.com, savingyou a trip to the stationerystore.
� Get involved. Whetheryou participate in decoratingthe neighborhood, givinggifts to the needy or deliver-ing food to the hungry, self-less actions help brightenthe season.
This year don’t lose the joyamidst the hustle and bustle.
