Stop decorating the tree, stop wrapping presents, stop shopping and go grab that old checkers board out of the closet and head to the nearest old folks home. Find out where the old guys are just sitting around doing nothing and let them know you are here to take on all challengers in checkers. They will line up to play, they will laugh, they will argue about what move the other guy should have made or how hard someone was on a pretty lady. Before you know it, you will have been there several hours, created many smiles on some faces that don't smile much any more. They will thank you and you will see what Christmas is really about. It is not the tree, the lights, the money spent, the shopping, it is about Joy, happiness and a giving spirit. It will change your day and your attitude. If you would rather see the women folk, take some shampoo, some brushes, combs and fix their hair for them.

I don't blame you for losing the spirit. Christmas is drilled into our head from before Halloween these days. I am personally quite out of the spirit myself, and can't wait until it is all over at this point. Sad, I know.
Put on some classic Christmas carols each day, for just a little while...not all day - that would make it worse! While shopping, get yourself a special treat....a Christmas gift from you to you that you would normally not buy for yourself. Make some mulled wine...that will get you in the mood and it smells so festive too. Volunteer in your community with a charity that helps kids at Christmas. Kids can boost your spirit quickly when you see the appreciation in their eyes, and the joy of Santa!
