- Listen to good music. For a whole month I listen to mostly classical and choral music with the Good News (or at least family and friendship) as its focus. While Christmas tunes are kind of forbidden in July, nothing stops me from listening to Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert – music that has lifted souls for centuries.
- Work toward the happiness of others. Much of the thrill of Christmas is imagining the excitement of others as they open the gift you got them. But all year I can send people a surprise note, build them up in person or online, express thanks, or even give a little gift for no particular reason.
- Read good books. Nothing quite compares to A Christmas Carol, but there’s a lot of uplifting and mind-expanding literature out there for the other 11 months of the year.

- Surround yourself with light. The tree and the exterior lights have to come down, but you can decorate your room with art and photography that inspires you. And you can change it as often as you want. For me, I can make my office look completely different just by cleaning it.
- Be grateful. Make sure your parents and grandparents know you love them. Send thank you notes. Count your blessings.

- Focus on what’s good in the world. Stay informed, but maybe not by the local news or anyone who relies exclusively on shock and emotion to get their message out.
Your list might be different. The point is, Christmas isn’t just magically different than the rest of the year (although maybe there’s some of that). It’s different because we act and think differently than we do during the rest of the year. Figure out what makes it special for you and work to get more of that into your January through November.
