Words of affirmation: In the holiday spirit, write a letter to a close friend or family member who you are not able to keep up with as much anymore. Remind him or her of the qualities that made your relationship dear. Fill them in on how your life is going, and request that they do the same for you.
Acts of service: If someone close to you hasn't wrapped gifts yet, offer to assist him or her in the process. Not only will it be fun to spend time together, but your assistance will be appreciated, especially if his or her love language is Acts of Service.
Receiving gifts: Choose a gift for each of your children that they may open the morning of Christmas Eve. This will help them cope with their bubbling anticipation and let them enjoy a small part of Christmas early.
Quality time: If possible, try to have Christmas dinner with more than your immediate family this year. This will allow you and the others you eat with to enjoy not only a special dinner but also to interact with people who you may not normally be able to converse with meaningfully.
