Christmas Happiness

 

Christmas time is a wondrous season. Today I’m going to share some reasons why Christmas time is a happy time for me.

1. Making presents

I love making presents for people, and seeing the look of joy on their faces when they open them. So for you I’m going to list some homemade presents I’ve made in the past.

Books. To make these homemade books I took my friend’s favorite animals, favorite princess, or even favorite things to do. So say my friend likes books, cats, and mysteries I would make them a book about a cat that solves a mystery, or a book about a girl and her cat solving a mystery.

Crafts. When I make a craft for a friend, I take their favorite food or favorite animal and make it out of paper, yarn, or (most typically) fabric. Then I add adorable faces and add a nice tag.

2. The Christmas tree

Christmas trees are beautiful, especially when decorated. I love the smell of the pine, so, when I was younger, I would take pine needles that had fallen off the tree, break them in half and sniff their glorious smell. What makes a Christmas tree so special is its decorations. My family likes to decorate them with red ornaments, snowflakes, stems with red beads, and lights. When we plug in the lights, the tree gives off a Christmas look and really makes it seem like Christmas.

3. Family and friends

Another part that makes me happy on Christmas, is seeing people I love. Every Christmas, we go visit them, open presents with them, and enjoy being together. Christmas is a great way to connect with family and friends and to give them gifts that show your love. I especially love getting presents from them, it shows that they went through all the trouble to get a gift, just because they love me.

4. Decorating

It’s a long (and sometimes difficult) process, but totally worthwhile and fun! You can decorate with stockings, Christmas trees, wreaths, and anything else that seems Christmasy to you. My family typically puts out Christmas blankets, red and white stockings, red letters that spell ‘Joy’, wreaths, and we even sometimes craft things to stick in our house. These simple traditional decorations can make your house a happier place during Christmas time.

5. Food

Every Christmas my family has homemade cinnamon rolls or granola for breakfast, and it is delicious! Having Christmas foods are essential for every Christmas (at least in my opinion). It’s easy to do; just have candy canes, cinnamon rolls, chocolate, hot cocoa, or kisses. The thing is all of those foods I listed can be homemade! So if you want to try something new and not buy Christmas food, try making your own.

All of these things make my Christmas very enjoyable. So just remember that even the simplest things can make all the difference.

Flowers make all homes a happier place, so why not make your own? These flowers are simple to make, take very little of your time, and are very cute when finished.
