But
if you are in a relationship, you have
to
find time for your partner.
And if you are going to celebrate the
holiday season with just the two of
you, I think you should consider
yourself lucky rather than getting
depressed that you are
"alone." There is no
better way to connect than to spoil
each other during the holidays.

to keep in mind for romantic holidays
-
It is good to
mix good planning with
surprises. So don't end
up
planning a trip to
Santo
Domingo while your husband signs
up for an exciting software
development project in the office.

You don't have
to leave home to have a romantic
Christmas. You can have a
great time right in your home.
How to set the
scene for a romantic Christmas?
-
Start with the
decorations. It is a good
idea to get the house decorated
for Christmas, particularly with a
tree, lights, and some decorations.
-
Stay away from
uncomfortable and controversial
topics during the holiday
season. You have the rest of
the year to do so.
-
Spend some time
picking some good outfits to
create the holiday spirit.
Most online shopping websites have
great sales going on at this
time and you don't have to deal
with the mall crowds. So buy what you can
afford for yourself and your
partner.
-
Do not forget
the Christmas gift. Since it
is just the two of you, be
creative. I remember at one
time it was just my wife and I for
Christmas. We had a great
evening with a home-cooked gourmet
meal, wine, and fireplace, and we
were watching a movie to wait till
midnight to open our gifts.
When I opened my gift, I was
surprised to see that she had
given me a rather "bold"
Santa outfit that I was
just too embarrassed to even try
on. When I resisted, she
showed me that she was herself actually
wearing Christmas theme lingerie. I got into the
spirit and we then had a memorable
Christmas eve. (Related
