Day 24: Tell someone you love how you truly feel

Tell someone you love how you truly feel. Even if they already know. You can never tell someone enough. If they don't know, even better; today's your chance. If it goes south, blame it on the advent calendar! Christmas is the season of love and giving; so live up to it! Here's wishing you a very …

Day 23: Have a red-green meal

Have a red-green themed dinner. It's Christmasy and will definitely get you thinking creatively. Some easy options are red and green capsicum/paprika sticks with a sauce or green chutney to dip in. Red or green apples baked with cinnamon and eaten with a dollop of ice-cream. Green grapes, cheese and red wine. The list is …

Day 22: Make snow/sand angels

Depending on where you live and how the weather is; make a snow/sand angel. It's fun, childish and gets you happily mucky! Relive the joys of childhood movements through these seemingly simplistic but definitely uplifting movements.

Even if you're tone deaf and your singing drives the birds away; belt out a Christmas tune today. There's something magical about making music, no matter how good or bad.

Day 20: Donate a gift

Donate a Christmas gift to someone who can't afford to have one.

(Unless of course you manage to confuse them and get them wondering what it is you want from them!) You're sure to create a ripple effect of happiness because …

Day 17: Play Secret Santa

They say life can be divided into 4 "Clauses". One- you believe in Santa. Two- you don't believe in Santa. Three- you are  Santa. Four- you look like Santa!

Day 15: Paint/Draw/Sketch
