There are many ways to make Christmas merry and memorable!有許多方法可以使聖誕快樂和難忘! Unfortunately, sometimes it's difficult nowadays to feel the joy through the cluttered maze that has become of Christmas.不幸的是,有時很難感受到的喜悅如今通過凌亂的迷宮已經成為聖誕節。 Through the years, Christmas has strayed too far from its original purpose and become a highly commercialized event.這些年來,聖誕節已經偏離太遠,從原來的目的,成為一個高度商業化的活動。
When it comes to the holiday season, more people are concerned with buying the “perfect” gift for others and anticipating what they will receive, rather than focusing on the true spirit of the holiday.當涉及到節日期間,更多的人關注與購買的“完美”的禮物,為他人和設想一下他們會接受,而不是著眼於真正的精神的節日。
It's time to get back to the basics when it comes to the season of gift giving, love, sharing, and caring.它的時間去回的基本知識,當談到本賽季的禮物,獻愛心,分享和關懷。 This year, you can make your Christmas a joyous and stress-free holiday by following these 3 easy tips:這一年,你可以使你的聖誕更加愉快和無壓力的假期按照以下3個簡單的提示:
1. 1。 Give of Yourself.給自己。 If you enjoy providing gifts to others, that's a nice gesture.如果你喜歡禮物提供給他人,這是一個很好的姿態。 However, you should avoid dwelling on it too much.但是,你應該避免居住在太多。 No matter what you can or cannot afford, there's always one gift that you can give to others: the gift of your time.不管你怎麼可以或買不起,總有一件禮物,你可以給別人:你的時間的禮物。 
 

* Christmas is only as commercialized as you allow it to be. *聖誕商品化,只有當你允許它。 Although it costs nothing, your time is the most precious gift of all.雖然花費什麼,你的時間是最珍貴的禮物所有。
There are many ways that you can give of yourself to others this holiday season:有很多方法,你可以給自己和別人的這個假期:
* Be a friend who listens *是朋友誰聽
* Spend time with a loved one *花時間與所愛的人
* Help someone with their household chores *幫助別人與他們的家庭瑣事
* Babysit for a mother or father who really needs a break *看孩子的母親或父親到底是誰需要休息
* Let others know that you are available anytime they may need your help *讓別人知道你是可以隨時可能需要你的幫助
2. 2。 Use Your Talents.利用自己的才華。 No matter how nice that watch appears to look in the jewelry case, the homemade pen holder or the homemade blanket that you create for your friend, neighbor, coworker, or family member will be much more appreciated than anything you can buy in a store.
不管有多好,手錶看起來似乎在珠寶的情況下,自製筆筒或自製毯子您為您的朋友,鄰居,同事或家庭成員會更加讚賞,比你在商店購買。 

* Ultimately, handmade gifts are priceless, whereas the store bought gift will lose value over time. *最後,手工禮物是無價的,而商店裡買了禮物就失去價值隨著時間的推移。
Sure, store bought gifts are nice, but people will value your handmade gifts more due to one reason: you put your time, efforts, and love into creating those gifts.當然,商店買禮物是不錯的,但是人們會更加珍惜你的手工禮品由於一個原因:你把你的時間,精力和愛為創造這些禮物。 When the receiver thinks about your hard work and dedication in creating the gift, it will become more and more cherished.當接收器想著你們的辛勤工作和奉獻中創造的禮物,它會變得越來越珍惜。
Here are some ideas of homemade gifts you can make:這裡有一些想法自製的禮物,你可以:
* Fresh-baked cookies, pies or jams *剛出爐的餅乾,餡餅或卡紙
* Hand sewn quilts or crocheted scarves *手工縫製的棉被或鉤織圍巾
* Framed photo collage *幀照片拼貼
* Personalized scrapbooks *個性化的剪貼簿
* Custom made jewelry *訂製珠寶
3. 3。 Cherish Your Time Together.珍惜你的時間在一起。 In the end, we can't take back time.最後,我們不能收回的時間。 Our time is lost in so many ways on a daily basis — especially around the holidays.
我們的時間是失去了在很多方面在日常的基礎上€“,尤其在holidays.

* It's time to place our priorities on our family and friends rather than on the shopping and holiday preparations. *現在是時候把我們的重點在我們的家人和朋友,而不是在購物和度假的準備工作。
* Why fight the crowds on Black Friday when you could be enjoying your kids' day off from school together? *為什麼打在黑色星期五的人群時,你可以享受你的孩子一天不學? Wouldn't you rather create some warm, happy memories?難道你而創造一些溫馨,幸福的回憶嗎?
* If you and your spouse don't enjoy spending your day standing in long lines at crowded stores, then change it! *如果你和你的配偶不喜歡花你的一天站立起了長隊在擁擠的商店,然後改變它!
* Spending the night baking alone when your elderly mother is in town is such a waste. *烘烤過夜單獨當你的老母親在城裡,就是這樣一種浪費。 Plan your baking so you can enjoy each other's company while things are in the oven.計劃你的烘焙所以你可以享受對方的公司,而事情是在烤箱裡。
If you want to make your holiday truly merry, remember to spend the time that you have with your loved ones enjoying each other.如果你想使您的假期真正的快樂,記得要花費的時間,你與你愛的人享受著對方。 Make joyous memories instead of a frenzy of worrying, shopping, cooking, buying gifts and over-stressing.讓快樂的回憶,而不是一個狂熱的擔心,購物,做飯,買禮物和過度強調。
If you follow the steps listed here, you're sure to have a merry, memorable Christmas this year and every year!如果您按照步驟列在這裡,你一定能有一個快樂,難忘的聖誕節,今年,每一年!
