With all the craziness of the holiday season it’s easy to put romance on the back burner.
Instead, try one — or more! – of these ideas to add some festive fun to your relationship.
1. Serve your man a steaming cup of hot chocolate – with extra marshmallows — when he comes in from shoveling the snow. Or better yet, join him outside to play in the snow.
2. Celebrate crossing items off your holiday shopping list by stopping for a steaming cup of flavored coffee and some conversation.
3. Share a hot bubble bath on a cold winter night.
4. Start planning a trip somewhere warm. Whether you actually go or not, it’s fun to fantasize about escaping the cold and lying on the beach.
5. Hang mistletoe in a spot you have to pass frequently – and don’t go by without a smooch!
6. After decorating the house and Christmas tree, turn off all the lights, and admire your handiwork in the glow of the tree lights.
7. Bake your husband’s favorite Christmas cookies – and ask him to be the “chief cookie-tester.”
8. Play secret Santa and leave each other little gifts (movie tickets, candy, a CD) in unexpected places like a briefcase, the car, or on his pillow.
