- Buy gifts bit by bit instead of all at once. Even if we have little money, I enjoy finding gifts. It requires creative thinking.
- Bring in our little faux tree from storage and plug in the lights.
- Maybe decorate the tree with my collection of snowflake ornaments.
- Go on a Christmas lights drive. Oliver would probably enjoy that now.
- Play Aaron Neville's Christmas album. The bells at the beginning of the first track mark, for me, the official start of the Christmas season.
- Write in red, green, and gold.
- Go in cinnamon-scented stores like Kirklands.
- Burn cheap cinnamon candles.
- Play James Taylor's Christmas album.
- Remember Christmases. Write about them or find them in old journals.

Christmas Spirit.
