7 Wonderful Ways To Have Fun On Christmas Eve 

7 Fun Things You Can Do On Christmas Eve

 

Before you look up you’ll be in the midst of Christmas Eve enjoying the festivities with family and friends. 

To make the holiday even more festive here are 7 things that you can do to make that happen. 

Number 1. 

Turn on Christmas music. Play something holly jolly to make your spirit merry and bright. 

Number 2. 

Grab pen and paper and call your family and gather around the table, dining room or kitchen, whichever space you’re most comfortable in. Now, you’ll start a Christmas story. Here’s the title of your story; Christmas Warms My Heart and Home. Write the first paragraph of the story and then pass it on to the next family member and they will pick up the story where you left off. Continue this pattern until the story is finished. Chose one person to read the story out loud and ask each family member to explain what this Christmas story means to them.

Number 3. 

Make Christmas Confetti for the night. Get red, green and white construction paper. Draw heavy criss-crossed lines to make perforations on the paper. Cut-out the squares, put them in a jar and when Christmas morning comes, give each family member a hand full of confetti and sprinkle it into whatever room you are opening your Christmas gifts. Enjoy the traditional Christmas colors and sing, We Wish You A Merry Christmas. Get into the Spirit of Christmas Day.

Number 4. 

Sing karaoke. Turn on that karaoke machine, grab your microphone and start singing as loud and joyfully as you can. Invite family members to join in and just have fun.

Number 5. 

Hang mistletoe and plant a big fat kiss on everyone’s cheek. 

Number 6.

Bake, eat and enjoy warm chocolate chip cookies with a cold glass of milk. Enjoy!

Number 7.

Exchange one Christmas present with one family member. 

Number 8. 

Snuggle up under the fire place and read a comfy cozy bedtime Christmas story to your family members.  

And now it’s time to go to bed. Kiss each family member and tell them how much you love them. 

Christmas Day is coming soon.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Jesus Is The Reason Why I Love The Christmas Season

By Cyndi – Posted on

The Holiday Season Is Designed To Bring Wealth and Prosperity Into Every Home

Christmas delivers wealth and prosperity into every home with love.

That’s why the feeling is amazing and it’s all because of Jesus.

Good Day Christmas Friends,

Today is Saturday, May 31, 2025 and I want to talk Christmas. Do you mind if I tell you why I never get tired of talking about Christmas. 

For me Christmas is complete comfort and joy because Jesus is the Reason for the Season. 

You see, I love my precious Lord and sweet Savior, Jesus Christ. He is my Light and Life Who dwells deep within my spirit. He warms every inch of my heart all year long. Also, He bestows countless blessings upon me faithfully my life without me asking for it. I am grateful. 

Like His Kingdom, Jesus’ love is an everlasting love. I am thankful that I get to experience His love when He mercifully wakes me up. With a grateful heart and spirit I bask in the glory of the new day. My spirit and mind renewed I start everyday refreshed and rejuvenated.

There is no love grater than the love of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Jesus is the Reason for my deep love for  Christmas

To know the true meaning of Christmas you must know Jesus. I truly believe when the holiday season makes its entrance into my every room inside of my home I can find special gifts in the Hem of His Garment.

One of those gifts is peace. The other two gifts are comfort and love. These special gifts envelope the spirit and gird me with joy. I love the sensational feeling that they bring to me year after year time and time again throughout the joyous season. 

Jesus gifts abundant miracles that surrounds and embraces believers across the pond. Here’s what’s so very special about it all. Jesus gives gifts that only some can see and feel. He is my reason for loving Christmas more than words can say. Jesus is the Reason for the Season. 

Reflecting upon all things Christmas here are some ways that I celebrate the miraculous season.

Comfort and joy are always near and holly jolly has a way of creating more abundance in my life

When I think about the Christmas holiday season I think about Jesus and the comfy and cozy feeling that quickly encompasses me. 

Taking time to relax into deep thoughts about Christmas I close my eyes. Quietly nestled in Jesus’ peace, my brown eyes walk me through a short time zone beginning October 1.

With loving eyes I see my home decked with boughs of holly warming the living room. My seriously comfortable living room brings me true inspiration all throughout this joyful time of the year. It is truly majestic and so is the holiday deocr.

I see all of the precious ornaments, gold bulbs and red runners that melt my heart. They also make me so very happy. In this divine space I write short holiday stories and precious Christmas filled poems. As Christmas music plays in the background I create, design and produce some of my best and most awe-inspiring creations.

From incredible decorations to heavenly pieces of vintage to modern ornaments I write Christmas. 

Now still in the present moment with thanksgiving and all the happiness in my own little world residing deep within every beat of my cotton clothed heart my eyes lead me into my quaint little dated kitchen which I love. Regardless of the fact that I have very little countertop and cabinet space it’s still my kitchen designed 62 years  inside of a loving home and I adore it. 

I am beyond grateful for the beauty, warmth and endless joy in my home.

As I slowly walk through the beauty of it all I am greeted with some of the most delicious desserts to come out of an oven baked by me the one and only.

A most delicious red velvet cake, with a smooth rich texture covered over with cream cheese frosting looks as stunning as my Christmas tree and just waiting to be sliced. And then I have dark chocolate brownies forever the hit in my home along with yummy peanut butter cookies my favorite cookie in the world lovingly grace my 35 year old kitchen table. 

Let’s head into the dining room, another place from whence I gather inspiration whenever I need inspiration for my life in general. It flows, like milk and honey from my living room. These three rooms intertwine like a healthy and loving relationship that naturally flows like rivers of water. 

Christmas brings me an abundance of happiness joy and comfort and it’s all because of Jesus. 

Even though it’s only May 31 it feels like December 25. Everyday for me feels like December 24 and 25 because Christmas resonates with my spirit like oceans of water. I must say that there are not enough words to express how I feel about Christmas. 

Christmas delivers wealth and prosperity into every home with love.

What about you. How does Christmas make you feel? 

Merry Christmas.
