It's Christmas Eve. Instead of leaving a list of all the things you'd love to have this year, why not leave a list of all the things you about him this year. And don't forget the milk and his favorite cookies!
You have officially finished Christmas shopping and are ready to relax and enjoy the next few days. Turn up the holiday jazz, break out the wine and let's see your moves... just like in the movies.
Give back to the community and donate. Lots of companies and organizations host warm coat drives this cold time of year. Dig through your closets and see what you've got. Christmas is about giving after all, and it doesn't have to mean just to each other.
Start a new tradition!! Maybe that tradition is hosting a party on Christmas Eve, or maybe it's laying in bed and watching a movie on Christmas morning before getting up for presents. Whatever it may be, make it something you both (and your family one day) will enjoy and look forward to every year.
Go out and buy a real tree...for the bedroom! There is nothing better than waking up and falling asleep to the smell of Christmas pine while being next to the person you love!
Bake gingerbread men!! Half the fun of baking these little guys is dressing them up. Host your own little contest and watch how festive he'll get when it's a competition!
Host a holiday party for all of your closest friends! Let loose and enjoy the spiked punch, yummy finger foods and company of your best pals. Also, being able to spend sometime apart from each other at the party and admiring from a far will certainly make the heart grow founder. Watch and see.
Have a holiday photo shoot! Cover yourself in Christmas lights, grab your Santa hats, sit by the tree, whatever suits your fancy. Having fun pictures of the two of you during the holidays will bring back the great memories you created this time of year for years to come.
Enjoy a delicious homemade breakfast together. Cafe au lait, waffles, and some light Christmas music by the tree will give you both a perfect start to the day!
Take a trip into New York City. It is hands down the best place to be during the holidays. Enjoy a drink at Rolfs (they have the most amazing holiday decorations!), then take in the 6th Ave views- Herald Square, Bryant Park, and of course, Rockefeller Center.

After a crazy shopping filled Saturday, spend the day admiring your Christmas decorations, wrapping your gifts and watching the classics: The Grinch, Frostie, Rudolph and Charlie Brown. Be sure to save Home Alone and Elf for after dinner laughs!
Make a day of holiday shopping!! Start your day with a latte (you know he'll need the caffeine to keep up!) and end with dinner reservations at your favorite restaurant. He'll love to know that there's a drink at the end of the very long shopping tunnel.
After a long day of work (and even busier weekend!) spend the night in bringing out your inner child. Turn on the Christmas music and break out the the blankets, board games, and tasty beverages. Remembering and sharing some of your favorite holiday memories will certainly make your spirits bright!
Don't forget to hang the mistletoe! Pick the spots you both are at together the most (over the couch, dinner table, etc) and get hangin'. Here's to a little extra love this holiday season.
