Each partner draws a gift a day and does the chore with uproarious laughter. Prepare eggnog laced with tranquilizers for you and your children. If you don't laugh, you won't miss it. Oh what fun it is to do a thousand things a day. Make little clay figures of the relatives and vent your frustrations together on the clay.
Every morning laugh together for five minutes.
Fake it till you make it. When being affectionate or passionate with each other pretend to be Santa and Mrs. Claus and laugh a lot. Tell each other the good, warm, funny things about Christmases past. Tell each other embarrassing stories about Christmas or the holidays. Sing Christmas carols loudly and with exaggerations and embellishments like falsetto voices.
