How to Really Enjoy Christmas
Part 1
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2

I'm known in my family as the original Christmas Elf. I've always loved Christmas and thought it was created just for me. And this even when for many years I held jobs that escalated dramatically during December.

I thought I'd share ten ways to make the most of this wonderful season, not because I'm any sort of expert, but because I love it. I like to learn from someone who loves what they teach, don't you?

1. It's all about warm feelings.

You are creating memories for yourself and for those around you. Stay in the moment and don't dwell on past occasions, because this one coming up will be "the best Christmas yet." I have said that every year!

2. Bake, bustle and bedeck.

Yes, it takes work, but like labor (as in childbirth) it's one of the times when your work really pays off big time. The point is that it is different, so let it be different. Fill the house with the smell of ginger, chocolate and cinnamon.

Go out in the yard, cut holly and greens and drape them everywhere drapable. Put reindeer horns on the dog, mistletoe in the office break room, a big red bow on the mailbox, and definitely a big wreath on the front of your car.

And while you're at it, make a tiny scarf or tiny Santa cap for the "Jack" on your antenna. Wear a Christmas tie, Santa earrings, a decorated sweater and jingle bells on your ankles (use the dog collar). Bustle, do more, get in the spirit. Yes, you're busy. You're busy doing wonderful and fun things, and your heart can be full of the people you're doing this for.

Because I have learned ...

You could be just as busy preparing for your mother's funeral -- same deal -- food, houseguests, cleaning, travel, in-laws, worrying about budget, arrangements. Get it?

3. Spread good cheer.

Many people do have a hard time with the holidays. If you don't, let your light shine on the corners of others' darkness. When I hear someone say, "I can't handle this," or "I'm overwhelmed," or "There's too much to do and I'm tired. Aren't you?" I bellow out good and loud -- NOT ME!

4. It's only "commercialized" if you let it be.

Everything in life is "commercialized". Or not. My dear friend Ann McGlone told me years ago what fun she had figuring out the greatest vacation on the least amount of money. She was incredibly creative about it and I had the good fortune to do many events for charities with her, and I adopted her ways and applied them broadly. I recommend it.

5. Christmas works on any budget.

Yes, it's hard if you're really facing a "hard-candy Christmas," but it's at those times that we're often at our best. Stripped of our "lucre power," we are left with "us" -- imperial, proud and true. In truth, the things you DO with people, and the way you ARE with people are the greatest gifts you can ever give, and they are increasingly rare.

6. The perfect gift?

Giving of yourself. It requires no money whatsoever. What's demanding about going out and buying her a sapphire ring? On the other hand, would you take the time, effort, and empathy to create an occasion designed for her enjoyment, which for any man, woman or child would be a time of your unconditional, undivided, unadulterated attention?
