While John Lennon's Happy Xmas(War Is Over) is still my favourite, Holly Jolly Christmas sung by Burl Ives always puts me in Christmas cheer. Also, Carol of the Bells deserves a mention.

Home office is essential for our family. Our drop zone is generally a hall table with ceramic dishes for keys, remotes, etc. That is a very attractive work station (for 2 people?) you designed.

The very basic foundation of having a healthy and livable home is ensuring the atmosphere at home evokes peace, joy, and happiness. This doesn’t need expensive furniture or an overhaul – you just need to make sure the atmosphere at home resembles the most natural and cleanest state you can give it. This just needs four natural elements: air, earth, water, and light. 1. Let some air in. Have a breathable home. You can do this by ensuring that everything in your home has its own space and each space has its purpose. Declutter often. Have no room for anything that doesn’t give purpose or bring you joy. 2. Bring some greens in. Indoor plants don’t only look pleasing to the eye and improve the overall aesthetics in your home, they also help purify the atmosphere. Plants take in the carbon dioxide we expel in our bodies and convert it into oxygen, the clean air we breathe! 3. Have the presence of water (or the idea of it). You might have read this in several home improvement articles: the presence of flowing water at home is a sign of luck and prosperity and also helps create a relaxing and peaceful ambiance – just like in most spas. 4. Use natural light. Of all the tips we have mentioned, the element of natural light is the most important. Don’t you notice how bright and spacious a room automatically looks when the sun hits the windows during the mornings? How calm and peaceful and promising mornings are when sunlight peeks through various locations at your home?
