Do Your Santa Letters Include Romantic Christmas Ideas

Have you ever written letters to Santa asking for a new love to walk into your life or just for ways to refresh the spark you once had with your significant other? The Christmas season is the perfect time to put a little romance in your life. There are lots of ways to show your love for each other without buying a thing. I have included some idea to be to get on your sweethearts nice list.

Wisk the one you love off on a Christmas vacation. There are many options you could choose from. If you are want a place that will get the chill of winter out of your skin, The Caribbean offers many all inclusive resorts just for couples. Another option is to rent a cabin in the Smokey Mountains and surround yourselves in the beauty of the winter landscape.

Write a Christmas Santa letter expressing how much you value the relationship that the two of you have together. A real romantic idea is to send a card every of December until Christmas day. You could take it one step farther and give a small gift to go a long with the card. It can be something small like a candle or box of chocolate. This will make your beloved fell so special this holiday season.

With some much do and such little time to do you might just want a night to relax together. Pick up dinner from one of your favorite restaurants. Go home turn off the phones and ignore the world for a night. Love Actually and The Family Stone are some great Christmas movies for a romantic movie night. Have a dessert that the both of you love. Hot cocoa is nice to snuggle up with on a cold winter night.

Take a long hot candle lit bath together. You could add some bubble bath or flower petals to the water for a romantic touch. After you bath take turns giving message using a holiday scented lotion. A special treat a man could give a woman is to wash her hair for her.

Share holiday tradition with each other. Participate in the traditions their family has it will bring you closer to your significant other. Start a tradition of your own it could be anything like making reindeer food together or writing letters to Santa. If this is your first Christmas buy a special ornament to mark the occasion. Every year you could write letters from Santa to give to each other. These letters could talk about what was special about the year.

Make plans to have a nice night alone. Sometimes in the rush of the holidays you can start to feel disconnect from the one you love. If check your local newspaper you may find holiday events that will appeal to both of you. If there is snow on the ground, go for a walk in a park. You may just want stay home and eat a dinner by the glow of your Christmas tree.

Santa Letters, Gifts, And Christmas Day Fun & Relaxation

The build up to Christmas can seem chaotic. At my house we do everything from writing Santa letters to shopping, decorating, entertaining and more. I guess that’s a big part of why we prefer to stay at home and enjoy each others company Christmas day. We lounge around the house all day in our new Christmas pajamas. My husband and I feel that it is unfair to drag the kids out of the house when all they want to do is stay home to play with their new gifts.

First thing in the morning the kids run down to open a package from Santa. The air in the living room quickly becomes filled with bits of ribbons and wrapping paper. They open one gift and return to the tree to find another a package with their name on it. Drew and I take as many pictures as we can. It is important to us to have visual record of our Christmases together.

After we have opened all of our gifts we cook breakfast together. Some years we make something easy like cinnamon rolls or pancakes and other years we go all out and create a gourmet style breakfast. While breakfast is cooking my boys bring in the empty reindeer food bowl. They show everyone that the reindeer ate all of the food we put out. We sit down together at the table and have a nice breakfast. The kids can’t finish their meal fast enough. They are so excited about the things they received from Santa.

Once we have the kitchen cleaned up after breakfast the kids run off to play with their new toys. While they are entertained my husband Drew and I start to cook our Christmas dinner. We both love to cook and we usually get something new for the kitchen. Now and then one of the kids will pop in and help out for a bit. My youngest daughter will almost always come in and write thank you letters to Santa while we cook. She thanks Santa for everything that was under the tree, fully believing that he is responsible for all the gifts. She will have her letters from Santa as references as she writes. She’s not one that can be argued with and we certainly would not want to. We actually want our children to believe in Santa for as long as possible.

Drew and I set the table with our special Christmas dishes. When we sit down to eat each kid gets a turn to tell us what their favorite gift was.

Once we have put away dinner, we veg out and watch a few movies. Drew always remembers to buy the movies for Christmas day. One by one the kids drift off to their beds. Christmas is always such a tiring day for them all.

Once the last kid has wondered off to bed and it is just me and Drew. We sit by the lights of the Christmas and enjoy the stillness of the night. Each Christmas night we have a champagne toast for surviving another Christmas. This is when Drew and I exchange our special gifts. This is perhaps my most cherished tradition. It may sound silly but Christmas may be the most romantic night we have throughout the whole year. We reflect on our love for each other, our love for the kids, and how important their happiness is to us.
