What you
need to be happy at Christmas
The correct understanding of the true meaning of Christmas
for humankind
The Christmas spirit of love for God and others
A good sense of humor
The ability to enjoy the holiday season
Time to spend with those you love
An open, welcoming heart for others
The desire to help those who are less fortunate
A notebook or diary to document what you have learned
about how to be happy at Christmas, so that you can share it with others
Tips and
warnings about how to be happy at Christmas
Others may not understand the true meaning of Christmas,
so you may have to show them by what you say or do.
Commercialism may appear to be central at Christmas, but
it is not what makes people happy.
It is people who are important, not things.
Everyone needs respect and love.
Someone you love is likely to be happy too.
Since people everywhere celebrate Christmas differently,
be prepared to be pleasantly surprised.
Knowing that you enjoy the way they
celebrate Christmas will make them happy too.
Using the expression Happy Holidays or Season’s Greetings
may appear to be politically correct, but it may not make you or others happy.
If they know that you are a Christian, it may confuse them.
A Christmas hug is understood everywhere.
