1. It's a great time to grow relationships.
The weeks that surround Christmas are a great time to grow relationships. Invite someone out for coffee. Buy someone lunch. Stop by and visit. Take some time to get to know someone better. Turn an acquaintance into a friend.
You can never have too many friends, especially as you are in the middle of a job search. There is also a great chance that spending time with friends will lift your spirits.

| Greetings |
Also, we all have "cheerleaders" in our lives. These are people that truly want to see us be successful. Think about who your "cheerleaders" are and what you can do over the next few weeks to help grow that relationship. They will cheer louder for you, and someone who is looking for an employee, just may hear that cheer.
2. It's a natural time to show appreciation.
Most likely, you are surrounded by some folks that do things for you that you may take for granted. A hand written card, a small gift, telling someone that you appreciate them and what they do, are all great ways to show appreciation. Even simply saying "thank you for ________" (you fill in the blank) are simple yet effective ways to show true appreciation.
3. It's the perfect time to give (and receive).
This time of year is a great time to be good to someone. Give someone something that they may not buy for themselves. You may say, "but I'm unemployed, I don't have the cash to give a gift". No worries, you may not have cash, but you have time or talents. Give someone some of your time or talents. As you give, you will receive. In fact, the bible teaches that if you give, you will receive a generous helping-all that you can hold.
Give it.
