Christmas is a great time of celebration and festivities. Why not introduce a few new ones to enrich your Christmas festivities and really wow the ones you love!

1. Surprise Wrapping - Write on a piece of paper three words that describe the one you love on one side and on the other side write a short verse declaring your love. Now fold the paper into a small parcel and keep wrapping it and folding it into bigger sheets of paper until you have a large parcel. Ensure that each sheet of paper is differently colored as this makes for more fun.

2. Wish Upon Your Own Star - On Christmas eve as the night falls dark, tie a scarf over your loved ones eyes and escort them outside. Before you take off the scarf tell them that as soon as they see the first star in the night sky it is theirs to keep and wish upon for the coming year.

3. Kissing Ball of Love - Buy a wreath of ivy or holly and place a red ribbon through it. Now hang it from a tree branch either with a long ribbon or some wire. Cut a piece of paper into 12 smaller pieces. On each one write you are honored with one long gentle kiss under the kissing ball upon presentation of this paper and it will be honored at that very moment. Now place all pieces of paper into a red envelope and place it on the Christmas tree with your loves name on it.

There is nothing like making someone feel extra special. With a few new traditions you can really rediscover an enriching experience of Christmas for you and your loved ones this year.
