It’s that time of the year again! Oooo! Christmas is in the air. Are you feeling the Christmas spirit yet?
By now, you may have seen holiday advertisements online or on the television.
Have you seen any Christmas lightnings or decorations that you like?
Better question, are you lighting up this year? Maybe you have an invitation to a Christmas party from the office or with a group of friends.
So many traditional things happening too. Like decorating the Christmas tree, going through recipe books, painting the house, getting new curtains and beddings, gifts and so much more!
Furthermore, the meaning of the season is still very much alive. LOVE. SHARING. CARING. HOPE.
With so much going on, it’s easy to get lost in it all. That’s why this post is dedicated to your personal preparations this Christmas.
We’ll be discussing tangible and intangible personal preparations that you can make to enjoy the holidays. My hope is that you will ensure you continue to enhance your growing potentials this season.
That’s what I love best… no matter what the season – there is always potential and room for personal growth. And Christmas is no exception!
Fah – la – la – la – laah – lah – laah – laah –laah!
Tangible Ways To Prepare For Christmas Personally This Year
Get out your Sweater/Coat
Certainly, the Christmas holidays usually take along a chill of some sorts – a unique “Christmas chill.”
And if you are in places where it snows, then you know the cold and frost bites can be terrible.
Therefore, you are being urged to take care of yourself, especially as the flu and other flu-like viruses could pose more serious threats at this time of the year.
A good way to do this, is to keep warm. Pull your warmest sweater/coat from your closet and keep it handy for those chilly evenings.
Similarly, if you are planning on purchasing affordable sweaters for yourself or even matching sweaters for the family, you can look around here.
Furthermore, you’ll find that a warm cup of tea (your choosing) or even coffee can work wonders on those chilly mornings and evenings. Especially with great company, a good book or movie.
So then, don’t let the cold weather steal your Christmas joy. Get warm and cozy.
Even Mr. Grinch is having his “cuppa.”
Choose Smart Decorations
Gone are the days when people stuff their Christmas decorations in a box and do not utilize them until…next Christmas.
While some items like the Christmas tree and ornaments are still stashed away throughout the year – there are some things that can be utilized all year long.
Therefore, you are being encouraged to choose smart decorations.
For example, solar powered lightnings. Think about it, they lower your electricity bill significantly and they come in all shapes, sizes and colours!
Furthermore, they can be used for just about everything! Weddings, birthday parties, outdoor dinners, room décor, you name it!
Additionally, they can be used for the general lighting of your home and yard space.
Look how fantastic the ones below are. Perfect for garden and flowers lovers!
Utilize Your Hard Skills
Are you one of those persons who are grand bakers, DIY gift wrappers, handy crafters?
If yes, then darling you’d do great utilizing those skills this season. A good example of operating in your strength zone.
You can decide if your products will go to charity, go on sale or – both. That’s entirely up to you.
There are so many people who love “the personal touch” and would be happy to support you and even thrilled to know you have those skills.
Who knows, you could start a business that lasts all four seasons and your very first clients would have witnessed your work -this Christmas!
Similarly, if you already utilize these skills – then now would be a good time to start taking orders or advertising your products/skills. And if you are thinking of creating a website for this, then you can do so with ease right here. Plus, when you sign up here, you get a FREE domain name! That’s right!
Ensure your tools and spaces are ready to accommodate your work. Best of all…

Clear The Grinch From Your Mind
Seriously. You would be surprised how happy and joyous your Christmas holidays can be if you rid your mind of the negatives.
Surely, a lot of things may have changed leading up to Christmas. Less funds. The inability to travel and visit friends and family. Not much growth since the last Christmas… you name it.
However, ’tis the season to be grateful for the little things. Those little blessings that you unconsciously ignore (or consciously even). Most of all, think of love and forgiveness. It’s no use carrying around a heavy heart.
If your matter is one that truly distresses you to an ultimate low, speak with a trusted friend, your supreme being or even a professional therapist.
The moment you let the Grinch out of your mind – you also let it out of your heart.
This is good to do all year round! Plus, it helps you to have a clear mind that is fertile for a growth mindset.
Welcome The Christmas Joy in Your Life
Fortunately, there are plenty ways to welcome the Christmas joy in your life! Luckily, many of these ways don’t even require you to spend a dime.
Don’t hold your smile back when you see the little children animated and excited about the Christmas lights, toys and treats. In their eyes, it’s a beautiful and jolly experience. And just watching them – can be a joyous experience for you too.
To add, you can indulge in your favourite Christmas Carols, pastries, traditions and embrace new ones! Think about it. It may bring joy into your life, singing along to new Carols, trying new recipes and starting new traditions!
As I said, get rid of the Grinch – and welcome the joy!
Also, sharing and being extra caring can put the Christmas joy in the hearts of others.
Feel free to volunteer to bring warmth and goodwill to people all around you. That sounds so lovely and I’m sure it will feel great too. After all, that’s part of the real meaning of Christmas. Showing love and caring for people no matter who they are.
Get Ready To Level Up After the Christmas Holidays
Christmas isn’t out the door yet.
However, you shouldn’t wait until it is – before you start putting things into perspective for the New Year.
Truth is, this is necessary to help you transition smoothly into the new calendar year. No need to rush though. Enjoy the season. Just ensure you spare some sorrel or hot cocoa for when you sit to do some reflection and new year mapping.
Leveling up after the holidays can mean many things. Including taking your skills to a new level and starting a business!
For others, it could mean self -care. Especially, if you are the person expelling most of the physical energy to keep the joy of Christmas in your household. Or even if, you haven’t been very caring to yourself lately.
Whatever leveling up looks like for you, take some time to reflect on it, so you aren’t caught off guard after the holidays.
