A cute puppy with a bow is always nice under the Christmas tree. There are a million things to do during Christmas time. But to make Christmas filled with fun stuffs, you have to plan something innovative. Here we are giving you some ideas, you can try.
1. Disguise yourself as Santa Clause and distribute various gifts including basket filled with warm gingerbread, candy canes among your friends and family.

3. Try to make something with your hands. This is something that you’ll be very proud of and can look fondly on in the future. Go wild with your imagination. Draw funny picture of your friend or write a funny poem describing your friend. Then wrap it with beautiful ribbon and gift your friend. You will get a mixed reaction. They might get angry or take it sportingly and appreciate your sense of humor. I am sure, you’ll enjoy this part of your fun things the most!
4. Get a really big box and when your friend open it there will be a smaller box and when they open that there will be a smaller box and so on until they find an ipod bow with jewlery in it or the other way around a jewlery bow with an ipod in it!
5. Besides buying main gifts, buy a small gift such as pencils or sharpeners. Then put the small gift in a big box and wrap it in layers and present it. Your friends or cousins will be all disappointed to find a gift they had hardly expected. Then surprise them with the main present.

10. Funny Christmas story to delight friends
i) Mirror Image
On Christmas Eve, Nathan thought it would be nice to buy his wife a little gift for the next day. Always short of money, he thought long and hard about what that present might be’
Unable to decide, Nathan entered Debenhams and in the cosmetics section he asked the girl, ‘How about some perfume?’ She showed him a bottle costing 75. [$150USD] Cheap perfume
‘Too expensive,’ muttered Nathan.
The young lady returned with a smaller bottle for 50. ‘Oh dear,’ Nathan groused, ’still far too much.’
Growing rather annoyed at Nathan’s meanness, the sales girl brought out a tiny 10 bottle and offered it to him.
Nathan became really agitated, ‘What I mean’, he whined, ‘is I’d like to see something really cheap.’
So the sales girl handed him a mirror.
ii) Try Before You Buy!
Myra was going to the Christmas office party but needed a new party dress.
In the clothing store she asked, ‘May I try on that dress in the window, please?’
‘Certainly not, madam,’ responded the salesgirl, ‘You’ll have to use the fitting room like everyone else.’
Christmas is a time of reflection and reconciliation, enemies become lifelong friends. There is a whole year of gossip about who did what with who and where during Christmas. This all contributes to a feeling of community within your society. So lets celebrate Christmas with all your true spirits and make others happy with whatever little you contribute.
