How do you get ready for the Holidays?

Getting ready for Christmas begins day after Thanksgiving, but not in the usual way. There is no shopping or fighting crowds/cars/people. I began my "get in the holiday spirit" about 12 years ago, by making a concentrated effort to go mindfully and purposefully day by day. To make all those around me smile (or moan in dread!)... I start wearing Santa hats!!!... different one for every day thru Christmas!! I will have ring around the head for the New Year, but...oh, well!! I begin writing a note in each Christmas card I send, letting that person or organization how much they mean to me for what they do or represent. I find a 24 hour Christmas music station!! LOL 
What are somethings that y'all do?

    @karen700, wow do you really have that many Santa hats? Very festive!
    I like your idea to write a note in your cards, I'm sure people appreciate it very much.
