I had a client ask me today how she could make the holiday special for her and her boyfriend. I thought what a great question to share with you today! It is funny how the holidays are supposed to be filled with special memories and instead they are often filled with tons of STRESS! Over the years we have gotten away from the true meaning of the holidays & it has turned into a commerical nightmare. No matter what your religious beliefs, this should be a time of personal & spiritual reflection on your past, present & future. Not stressing out over shopping, wrapping, cleaning, baking, and the list goes on and on. So back to the question at hand....there are a lot of great things you can do to make this holiday your most SPECIAL yet with your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife. Here are a few ideas...
1- Start a new holiday tradition. Maybe go see the Christmas Tree in NYC at Rockefeller Center (or somewhere local to where you are). Or go visit a place you have never gone before & make sure to take some pictures to capture the memory forever! xoxo
2- Get a group together and go Christmas Carolling & then have a party afterwards.
3- Need help decorating your Christmas Tree- have a tree trimming party. Have everyone bring an ornament.
4- Write a special love letter to each other and read them to each other in a special place- perhaps underneath the mistletoe!
5- Make gifts for each other. A great idea is to put your picture as a couple in an ornament to hang on your tree.
6- Make a picture album or scrapbook for your significant other of favorite memories together.
Those are just a few ideas...but the most important point of my blog today is to make sure you are creating "meaning" in your holiday. Make it special and personal. These are memories that will last forever. The holidays are not about presents....it is more about your PRESENCE in the moment. Best wishes for the most SPECIAL holiday yet with your loved ones! xoxoDari
