Color of the day: Orange Incense of the day: Almond Assemble your supplies, then your gifts. Set the mood by lighting a holiday scented candle, or simmering some potpourri. Begin by selecting a gift to wrap and think about its reipient. What kind of year have they had? What would you like your gift to convey? Select the paper, and as you cut it, truly feel that you're giving a bit of yourself along with the gift. As you wrap, tape, and tie the ribbon, feel that you're bonding with the recipient. If you're using gift bags and tissue, feel that you're gently surrounding the gift with love. Finish by adding a magical touch. For example, a pine cone is a sign of life and fertility, and a small bell will attract positive spiritual energy, and so on. |
