Everyone hopes to have a wonderful end of year celebration this Christmas. But for many despite all the time, money, effort and planning that goes into making Christmas special, they only feel stressed and overwhelmed. You may even get to the point where you feel that Scrouge had the completely the right attitude. When you get to that place, you are need some help.

Here are some tips to help you re-gain a little joy and enthusiasm for the festive season, and make the whole Christmas season much more enjoyable.

Plan your giving

Decide on a reasonable budget and stick to it. It is the thought that counts not the cost of the gift. Make a list of all those that you will give gifts to, you are allowed to make it as small as you feel comfortable with. Divide the names on your list into two groups;

• people to buy gifts for
• people to make gifts for

Decide on an amount for each person and stick to it. You may decide on different amounts for;

• children and adults
• friends and immediate family.

Be creative and hunt for bargains. The best way to do this is to buy things during sales or trips abroad,

way before the Christmas season. You can aim to be this organised next year.

A dying art?

It seems to have become common practise these days to ask your friends and loved ones what they want for Christmas, down to the make, colour and model number. If anything is guaranteed to make Christmas feel a total anti-climax than knowing the exact contents of every present that you open. What about the person who watches you open your gift? They are robbed of the joy and delight that comes from a surprise gift.

Giving a gift is a dying art. A gift should be a surprise, something that a loved one would cherish, an exchange of love from the giver to the receiver.

Giving from the heart

A good way to lift your spirits and turn a chore into an enjoyable experience is to make your gifts. Whether it is making cards, baking delicious cakes, puddings or festive pies. To brewing traditional wine, beer or cider to share. If you have carpentry skills, if you knit or you can sew, then you can make a small gift item.

As you work on your gift you feel a sense of accomplishment and you know that it will be enjoyed by the person you give it to. This is guaranteed to fill your heart with the warm and fuzzy feelings that mean that you have got the Christmas spirit!

Modern living presents many time challenges, there is never enough time. But spending time making a gift is a labour of love and beats shopping at busy malls, or surfing for hours online, any day of the week. Keep your handmade projects small in size and complexity, and preserve them for only a handful of people of select people on your list. The smaller this group the better. Quality and being able to deliver on time, is what really matters.

Make up a Shoe Box

There are so many parts of the world where because of conflict, flood, famine or disease Christmas will mean very little. In fact the onset of the winter cold may actually increase the plight and misery for hundreds of thousands of families.

The tradition of sending a shoe box of small inexpensive gifts to developing countries has been going on for almost twenty years now. This may be one of the earlier things you do for Christmas each year, as the boxes need to be ready to send out about eight weeks before Christmas.

Children love this activity. It encourages them to think of children all over the world who will have nothing this Christmas. It teaches them the importance of giving and they get to experience how good it feels to give.

Visit your local thrift or value store and stock up on inexpensive small items to fill a shoe box. An adult

sized shoe box when filled to the top can comfortably hold 10- 12 items. You can include;

• small cuddly toys
• toiletries, toothbrushes
• a pocket calculator, a sewing kit, a diary
• pens, paints coloured pencils, jotter pads
• a packet of balloons, poppers, some streamers or tinsel
• socks, hair accessories, gloves, hats scarves
• sweets, brush & comb, nail clippers etc

Make sure all the items are new and unused. Remove any bulky packaging to make your items fit into the box. Depending on the country the boxes are being sent to the collecting depot will provide information about items that you are not allowed to put into the box. Pay close attention to any restrictions, as you don’t want your gifts to be rejected and never reach a family in need.
