Steps for a Romantic Christmas Together:

• Take in the spirit of your painstakingly decorated abode. Enjoy the holiday spirit and bask in the beauty of your domicile.
• Set a table in shades of red and green, gold or blues and silvers. Select a scented candle that compliments the mood and hold hands from across the table, gazing into each others eyes. You are as in love as you were when you first fell.
• Enjoy a sumptuous meal that one of you has lovingly cooked for the other, or take a lazy, carefree and modern approach by ordering take-out from a classy establishment. (Hint: Do not eat out of the Styrofoam containers!)
• Take a few minutes to yourselves after the meal concludes and rest before welcoming dessert.
• Enjoy a luscious glass of wine with your meal and/or your dessert. Share cocktails or warm beverages after the meal and dessert have concluded.
• As the fire crackles, wrap yourselves together in a soft blanket, or simply each others arms, on the couch while romantic music plays in the background.
• Convince your loved one to get up and dance slowly to the sounds surrounding you.
• Slyly guide your honey over to the mistletoe dangling above your doorway.
  Let the magic of the holidays come alive within you both and make this a Christmas you will never forget.
