Get into the Christmas Spirit

There is an enduring sense of appreciating Christmas, even with the many debates on Christmas as a religious holiday that has gone 'secular.' In spite of this, there still is the sense that Christmas comes but 'once a year'.  What are the emotions that are associated with this sense of Christmas Spirit?    There is an easy answer.  It is about sharing, caring and love - the great fellowship of humanity. So it seems to make sense to  get into the Christmas spirit.  WikiHow comes to the rescue with advice that appeals to the secularists.  As we are at the Christmas moment, check out the list and catch up on a few easy items: 1.
