Dec 1: Write your Christmas manifesto. Here is an example.
Manifesto: A declaration of one's intentions.
Starting December 1st, I will keep a Christmas journal. In it, I will write something every day to reflect on the holidays of my past, enjoy the holidays of the present and dream about the holidays of my future. I will include photos, recipes, paper clippings, favorite cards, lists, whatever inspires me that day. I am taking back my Christmas, I am letting it be something I relish and, most importantly, I am giving at least fifteen minutes every day to record the events of that day no matter how crazy this season becomes. I hope you will share, encourage and understand as I make something with my own hands, my own words and my own memories.
