FIRST PUBLISHED NOVEMBER 25th
Over the years, I’ve sent lots of emails with tips and ideas on how you can ‘make this your best Christmas ever’.
I now know the answer – or at least a part of it. So with 30 days to go here are 30 things to do.
1 Say ‘I love you’ to at least one person every day
2 If you’re struggling with No. 1, look in the mirror and tell yourself
3 Sing out loud
4 Bake bread, twice as much as you need and give half away
5 Watch a Christmas movie every week – one of these movies must be It’s A Wonderful Life
6 If you need to lose a few pounds do it in the next two weeks. Don’t wait until January
7 Reduce your consumption of news
8 Try one new drink
9 Smile at random people
10 Make a Christmas donation
11 Men – think really hard before you buy your partner’s presents
12 Women – just tell us! Don’t think you’ve hinted, you haven’t, we have no clue
13 Make an extra fuss of people who have birthdays close to Christmas
14 Be overly polite when driving, shopping and on any public transport
15 Avoid Black Friday
16 Wear sunscreen – oh hang on, that’s someone else’s list. Wear sequins!
17 Dust down and re-play your early record collection
18 Write a grateful list – every day
19 Breathe – take some long deep breaths, make the out breath longer than the in
20 Stretch – take a few minutes every day to appreciate and stretch your wonderful body
21 Say ‘no’ to the invitations that diminish your soul
22 Do something spiritually uplifting – nourish your soul
23 Acknowledge people living on the street
24 Compliment AT LEAST one person every day
25 Wear a Christmas jumper or at least a Santa hat
26 Slow down, especially on December 24th, 25th and 26th
27 Feed the birds
28 Look out of your bedroom window for ten minutes and appreciate what you do have
29 Hug people for a second longer than you would normally – don’t pat
30 Fill in your own here and please share via your social media
Be Brilliant!
