If your family is something you are born into, then friends are the family that you get to make and that makes them all the more special. Your friends give you a lot in life. The money that you would need to borrow occasionally, the support you might need when you are going through a difficult time, a shoulder to cry when you are getting out of a breakup, a doormat when you have to vent out your frustrations and a constant companion in your times of grief and happiness. When they are an integral part of your lives and make you happy, it only makes sense that you reciprocate and do the same and much more to keep them happy. And Christmas could be a great time to repay some of the kindness they have shown you.
1. Exercise some random act of kindness
Call them, text them or send them an email telling them that you have been thinking of them as you are celebrating Christmas and that you would have loved to have them over for Christmas. Send them something that would remind them of the times that you spent together so that they can also relive the memories.
2. Be there for them
If they are going through a difficult time, then make sure that you are there for them. You could be their emotional support or if it is money they are short of then try to pitch in as much as you can so that they too can be happy during the holiday season.
3. Invite them over
If your friends are single and do not have a family to spend Christmas with, you should invite them over to spend Christmas with your family and share the joy of Christmas together. No one should spend a lonely Christmas, especially your friends when there is something you can do about it.
4. Surprise them with gifts
Gift them something that they really haven’t been expecting from you or from anyone else. They are your friends, so go the extra mile just to see them happy this Christmas. There is no limit to how much you can do for your friends and they too will surely appreciate it.
5. Make them laugh
You can be the morose or the serious one in the group, but this Christmas practice a few funny lines or one liner that would make them laugh. They will be surprised to see you in your new avatar and you will also feel happy to find the new person inside of you.
6. Go out for a movie or catch up on old movies at home
You can take your friends out for a movie or invite them over and catch up on the old movies that you have collected over the years. This could be an after dinner affair where you can also catch up on old times and reminisce about the times you had spent together.
Making your friends happy could be just the best thing you could do on Christmas. It makes a lot of difference to them to know that you are around especially if they are lonely.
