Fun Ways for the Whole Family to Enjoy Christmas Morning Together
Here are five fun ways for the whole family to enjoy Christmas morning together this year.
Encourage moderation
There’s something about Christmas that sees us going overboard. In terms of spending, overindulging in food and reckless behavior. This morning, sets the pace for the rest of the season.
Do everything in little moderated amounts; that is the only way to enjoy Christmas Day. Neither too much nor too little. From Christmas breakfast to alcohol consumption, ensure that there’s enough of you left when the day is done.
Set the mood
Whether it’s new furniture decorations or holiday-themed trinkets strewn through the house, allow your space to be dramatically changed for the festive season. Christmas adds the extra bit of red and green into our lives. Knit sweaters, killer outfits, or a secret stash of shoes can all make it feel less like an ordinary day and more like a holiday.
Call who counts
On Christmas, as ranks tighten and families pool together, not everyone we’d like to see is present with us for one reason or another.
For those still with us, even those we aren’t on speaking terms with, holiday wishes are the most neutral of reasons to contact someone. For those who are quite a distance away, there’s nothing that bridges the gap like heartfelt Christmas wishes.
Double check
If you’ve meticulously planned your day out in nuanced detail, Christmas morning gives you a heads-up to brush up on or cross-check your itinerary. Everyone wants a perfect holiday, but aren’t holidays in their essence periods to embrace the things we consider trivial?
Embrace the imperfection
If everything turned out perfectly, life would be simple. No mishaps, no coincidences, and no missteps for us to learn from. When it comes to the holidays, even after months of planning, there will be something amiss, a sliver of misinformation that comes into view only later,or a teachable moment lurking in all the hubbub.
Christmas Day means a lot of things for many people. For others it is the day Jesus was born; for others it marks a pagan practice long forgotten; to some it is a day of rest and relaxation. This Christmas morning you can decide what it means to you.
