5 fun ways to meet someone special this holiday season
Mary Billiter, author of A Man for All Seasons, shares some tips on how to expand your social calendar during the holidays.
Mary: From taking a chance and accepting a blind dinner date to the old, but reliable, accidentally stepping under the mistletoe move, the holidays are a great time to create a spark.
• Dashing through the snow? Hop on a sled, get in a sleigh, and see where the road takes you. If you end up at an old friend's house — all the better. And if you're the house where an old acquaintance shows up, open the door. Let the spirit of the season be welcoming to all!
• O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree. It doesn't have to be big and bright to make someone's holiday wish come true. And this season, there are plenty of trees that need a good home. Then find that someone special to help decorate the tree. After the holidays, you can make a date to plant the tree and keep the spirit alive year-round!
• Here comes Santa Claus! And he needs a few helpers. Volunteer at the food bank, offer to collect new gifts for the toy drive, or simply help out your neighbor. Santa's watching and you never know who you may meet when you're doing good deeds!
• Home alone for the holidays? Offer to cover a colleague's shift at work. You won't be alone and you can spread your cheer all day long. You may even be amazed to find out who else is working the holiday beside you.
• It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. So turn on the oven and start baking some holiday treats. What better way to someone's heart than through a gift basket of goodies? Be safe and avoid anything with nuts!
About A Man for All Seasons:
There are crazier ways to spend a holiday. At least that's what journalist Janey Turner keeps telling herself when she agrees to spend Thanksgiving with the editor she's never met in person before…who lives three hundred fifty miles away.
The recently divorced mom hopes the trip to Casper, Wyoming, will be a welcome distraction on her first single holiday, and a great chance to pick the boss's brain on how to get a front-page byline.
But the chemistry that flares between her and Joe Argenti is as hot and unexpected as the lightning strike that soon ignites Casper Mountain. When a massive wildfire erupts, it's Janey's big chance to get ahead—but only if she's willing to risk this budding relationship. Will her professional dreams cost her a merry Christmas?
