Ten Ways to have A Wonderful Christmas!
1. Imbibe the Giver’s spirit, have a giving heart. Give gifts to all your friends, families and colleagues at work.
2. Visit loved ones during this period, it’s a time for social visits
3. Visit orphanages and reach out to the poor, homeless and forgotten in the society.
4. Forgive all those that hurt you during the course of the year, forgive, let go and actually spend time praying for your offenders, ask God to forgive you too your trespasses. Open a clean slate and carry a pure heart in readiness for the new year just round the corner.
5. Send Christmas Wishes through emails, text messages, to your friends outside Nigeria, take out time to write the sweetest words because most Nigerians in the Diaspora sometimes have a nasty Christmas because of the cold and some can be lonely and miserable, so your words will become a soothing balm for their spirits and their souls. Remember the song, “Reach out and touch, somebody’s hand, make this world a better place if you can”
6. If you are married spend quality time planning a “WOW” time with your family. Buy your partner a gift that will amaze and daze them. Go the extra mile to find that special gift that will speak for your love to them. God did not just speak of His love for humanity, He proved and showed it, by sending JESUS CHRIST, to die for us. Jesus Christ is the reason Christmas! Do not just claim to love your wife or husband this Christmas, SHOW IT! Do not forget to do the same for your children too.
7. If you are single in a relationship do the same thing, show love, express your love, write something wonderful, frame it, write a love poem and be creative about your love, plan a surprise dinner with his friends, and surprise him. Buy him/her a gift that will show exactly what you feel. Don’t just love! Say it! Act it! Show it! Now more than ever.
8. If you are single and have no love in your life at the moment, take heart and do not despair. Love God! Love yourself! Love others! During this time let your heart and life be driven by LOVE! Visit a hospital, especially the children’s ward, and buy gifts for the sick child. Before you go spend time praying to God Almighty for their healing and recovery and as you spend money buying and wrapping the gift pray that your gift will be a love gift, that will bring healing and change in their lives.
9. Remember to buy your “Man of God a gift this Christmas! They labour over us in their prayers and supplications to God to keep us and prosper us throughout the year, it is time to show them some love, and gratitude for their love and effort towards our spiritual well being.
10. Have a PARTY, celebrate life with friends and loved ones, a big wonderfully planned party! Let down your hair, have a blast! Rejoice that you are alive, well and sane! Let this Christmas be different, special, unique, and wonderful.
On a final note, do something you have never done before. I do not know you so you have to take out time to figure that out. Let that be your number 11! As they say go the extra mile, to be extraordinary!! Number 11 is your extra and that makes you EXTRAORDINARY this Christmas!
Have a WONDERFUL! GLORIOUS! And FABULOUS XMAS.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and a FANTASTIC 2010!
May all your DREAMS come TRUE in the NEW YEAR!
