Skills of Christmas gnomes 20. Christmas preparations

 

T1.   Christmas preparations begin for some even months in advance when they find a nice present for someone, and buy, make and hide it for Christmas, or just keep it in mind as a likely nice present for Christmas.

T2. For most tyrning toward Christmas begins in November when the weathers and darkness make one wish for something softening and comforting and for warm clothes, and when one for the first time hears Christmas songs played in the radio or in shops. 

T3. I guess that making things nice for Christmas is largely that thibgs and places would be clean and dry, but on a leisurely way, like one who does not always do such chores finds the right nice tune and drowns into making home and clothes nice. 

T4. Often things go nicer if one does not do them like a professional, but instead like a quite beginner who in a moment of inspiration manages to make professional quality.

T5. The weathers affect a lot, and to them important are warm clean clothes, warm blankets and woolen socks. Getting some motion may make one refreshed. 

T6.   Already in November it is important to eat foods fitted to the climate, like of course always, plus drink hot tea and maybe eat Christmas bakery so as to lift one's spirit. But a very Christmas like atmosphere comes in the beginning of December. 

T7.   Christmas songs are a big part of the fascination of Christmas, and teach winter time life and help to make a Christmas like atmosphere. In December there are Christmas song happenings where the point is to sing together. And also at homa, at least once during the Christmas time, but maybe more often one ought to sing Christmas songs by oneself, even if one aren't so good at singing, since one can sing somewhat quietly if needed. 

T8.   In December it is good time to go Christmas shopping to buy presents, and to make handiworks if one likes such, quite near Christmas decorate home to lift the spirit by more warm, more fine with some nature elements too and more Christmas like, and wrap the presents to colourful Christmas papers with pictures in them and with Christmas greetings. And earlier in December send presents in post to relstives and buy, write and send Christmas cards: coloyrful cards with Christmas like pictures and greetings for Christmas and New Year.

T9.   If one tidies very detailedly, straight lines and squre forms catch attention and that makes life tense. Better to tidy leisurely and try to arrange so that ghere isn't only square forms, but instead a stright line get compared with a nature element like a room palm, view oyt of window or decoration artifact or with some leisurely collected blanket or the like. 

T10.   Indoor life compares with outdoor lufe, however harsh it is and however short the visit outdoors. With weather skills it is a refreshing experience but needs good clothes. 

T11.   Near Christmas are Christmas flowers what really brings a Christmas like feeling, for example 23rd of December. 

T12. On Christmas Eve 24th of December at noon ( universal mean time + 2 hours ) Finland's Turku declares Christmas peace, which is a hundreds of years long tradition, and one can follow it in tv or radio, maybe also at the video site www.youtube.com
