Smell up the house this holiday season.

          We have mentioned before the way scents can help and improve your relationship.  They can also spice up the times around the holidays.  Cinnamon spiced apple cider, pine trees, or christmas cookies are wonderful  smells that can create warmth and enjoyment in your house this holiday season.  What smells does your partner remember from his/her holidays past.  Maybe it is the smell of gingerbread or turkey cooking, it could even be the smell of  egg nog.  What ever scent makes your partner think of the holidays try to match that smell and surprise them when they come home.  

Give gifts that spark romance!

          Gifts can be wonderful tool on building your relationship.  You can give sentimental gifts that really touch someone heart.  However those are tough to find.  Instead of searching for the one that will touch his/her heart strings why not give the gift that will create lasting nights of romance.  Candles for candle lit dinners, Warm flannel sheets for snuggling up in, or a trip to take after Christmas has past, can make lasting memories even after Christmas is over.  When you really think about it, it is not that hard to get into the groove on this.  A romantic love seat for watching movies in, a bottle of wine to share, or even tickets to a show the list can go on and on.  You just have to think about what your partner would consider romantic and get something that would lead into that romantic evening.  Being a great gift giver doesn't have to be a struggle and when you are in love it gets easier and easier.  

To stay healthy this winter - Drink your juice, take your vitamins and have sex!

          We all hear about the wonderful ways to stay healthy during the winter months.  Things like drink your juice, and take your vitamins have long been standards to avoid the ills that come with the winter months.  We spend an insane amount of money on precautions to avoid getting these illnesses.  Yet they still seem to come.  I am not knocking the powers of juice or vitamins but I think you are missing a key ingredient to this mixture.  The ingredient is sex!  Yes you heard me sex is an magical drug that is free and very powerful in not only helping fight off illness but in overall health, too. Many studies have found that people that have a wonderful sex life life longer and feel better.  Not only does your body release your feel good hormones during sex but it does so much more.  Your mental state will be much better and you will think more positive.  Sex in a committed relationship is always a win win situation as long as both partners are in agreement and open to the passion.

Don't let the holidays be a time to forget about health.

          The holiday are packed with wonderful treats to eat.  Cookies and candies that everyone want you to enjoy with them.  Here is where the two of you make a stand and figure out how you can enjoy the holidays without the sugar fest that it usually is.  Try to find some great snacks you can make without giving into the cookie trap.  Think veggies or fruit for your holiday cheer.  Set out cut up fruit and veggies and have lot of nuts laying around for consumption.  Look for wonderful alternatives like pumpkin pies or breads that are healthier.  I am not saying you can't have a cookie now and then but balance it out and don't eat as many as Santa is going to eat this holiday season.  

Intimacy is the best Christmas present for you partner.

You can find a lot of gifts to give your partner, but why not use your passion and create a Christmas intimate evening for them.  Find a night where the two of you can be along then give them the Christmas present they will be thinking about until next Christmas.   Find something sexy to wear be it a cute little Santa outfit or some candy cane boxer shorts.  Create some Christmas lighting in your special room with blinking colorful lights.  Get a wonderful Christmas drink and snacks and let your partner know how much you care about them.  Make love under the Christmas tree, place mistletoe around their body where you want to kiss, or just wrap yourself up.  Make it a memorable night by giving them the gift of a sex toy or performing a sexual act that you have never or seldom do.  Get prepared however this just might become a tradition and you will have your partner counting down the days until Christmas.
