Christmas ?

It doesn't feel like Christmas =[ Any tips on making my life feel more Christmasy ? =]Christmas ?Put on some Christmas music, a pair of red socks if you got 'em, hang some tinsel anywhere on your body, drink some hot cocoa, and FA LA LA yourself into a "carolling coma" for the next hour or so while you do the following! Get some red and green ribbon, some paper plates,a straw, 2 plastic or paper cups (or regular cups or Tupperware, whatever..just something "cup" shaped), a bit of plastic wrap, foil OR waxed paper (heck , you can even use your hand to cover the cup if you want..tho' Mrs Santa Claus would object, I think), red and green food coloring, and a roll of refridgerated sugar cookies ( I'm assumming you have an oven, a cookie sheet and some sugar). Slice off those "suckers" and slap them on the cookie sheet. Put a drop of green food coloring into a paper cup (or regular cup) filled with 1/4 - 1/2C. sugar; cover cup with plastic wrap and "shimmy, shimmy, shake" that cup; do the same with the red. Now sprinkle the sugars on the unbaked cookies and taking a straw, cut out a circle at the top; Bake them as directed my little "jingle belle" and Voila! you've got yourself some Christmas Ornament Cookies!! Stack them on the paper plates, cover the whole shebang with plastic wrap (or tissue if you want to be REALLY extravagant!), tie it all up with red and green ribbon; the kind you can curl, of course; put on anything that's red...or green (optional assuming you've got the red socks on), throw a little flour on your face (from ALLLL that cookin' you did),AND...... "Here Comes Santa Clause, Here Comes Santa Claus," right to your friends' back door. If that doesn't wake up the Christmas spirit in you...well, put a hanger in your hair, sit by the fireplace, and call yourself a "stocking". Merry Christmas!!Christmas ?
Go to church for some of their Christmas presentations. Decorate a little. Donate a little time, cash, or food to a local charity.Christmas ?Try decorating, or making christmas treats. Wrapping gifts always puts me in the holiday spirit as well.Christmas ?
go to the park and take a walk,be aware of every thing by you,breath in life. you only get one,so many people dont see this,Christmas ?Being with your family helps quite a bit.Christmas ?
Its a little death-like for me too. I think it has to do with the general atmosphere. We are all tired, worried, fed up and it bleeds out into the holiday.



Christmas music is a good idea. There's also tons and tons of inspiring stories out there nowdays. Just google "Inspirational Christmas Stories"



Good luck and try to keep the chin up!
