The holidays are all about inner peace, love and lots of giving! With all the end-of-year festivities, you may need a boost to get you in the spirit. Here are 6 ways you (and your family) can jump into joy:

Play music – load up your iPod with your favorite holiday classics such as Mariah Carey’s ‘Silent Night’. You can rock out in the car, home or in the office.

Decorate – Hook up your home with lots of holiday décor – get festive and don’t be afraid to get creative with it!

Lend a hand – Help a neighbor carry groceries or offer to baby-sit so a friend so they can go shopping

Volunteer – Spend time helping out at a hospital or soup kitchen OR donate items such as canned goods/toys to the needy – it feels good to help others.

Bake cookies – Let the kids pick out cute holiday cookie cutters and let them decorate them with sprinkles! The cookies will also make great gifts.

Give change – Drop loose change in those Salvation Army collection buckets that Santa has at the mall.
