• Being generous to people gives you pleasure

 Christmas is one of the most “food-lover” friendly holidays. There, literally, are invented dishes, both salty and sweet, just for this part of the year. So, I can verify that paying a little more attention to the food will go a long way. It could be putting a bit more effort when cooking dinner for your partner or even trying to cook if you are not the one doing the cooking. A good idea would also be a good restaurant that you haven’t tried out, and you’ve always wanted to go to. Long story short, food can make everyone happy, so I’m sure it will help you and your partner out. Plus, you know what they say, love goes through the stomach, am I right?

The presents

Ever since I was a little child, there had always been one person that really annoyed me during Christmas. That person always kept getting me a really generic gift every year, without a single ounce of thought put into it and then pretended I was one of the people he cared for. So, I don’t want to be mean or anything, but it’s only natural that you actually try and put some effort when doing things for your loved ones. Otherwise, why even pretend you care about them? So, if you want this Christmas to truly be successful, don’t

 go around buying socks for your partner. Instead, try and listen to what they have to say, and most likely, you will receive a hint as

 to what they want for Christmas, maybe even throw in a Christmas card with some lovely wishes in there. Making your partner happy

 will in return make you happy, because what my experience has taught me is that there is no greater pleasure than the one you get when you make others happy.
