It's a time to gather with family and friends, maybe people you haven't seen in a while.

It's also time to to eat some good food and drink some egg nog. This is sort of a tradition. Another tradition is putting up a tree and decorating it.  You can cut down your own , buy one or use the old trustee artificial one that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Presents are good to get but shop smarttly and don't put  yourself in major debt. It's also better to give then receive. Whaen you are out in the community say Merry Christmas to people and smile. This will help others attitude and shown that you care about everybody.

Sing Christmas Carols and come together in numbers. If you have children play the Santa Claus role and tell them you believe in to.

Merry Christmas to every one !!
