All the major occasions in a calendar year - birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day and Christmas - are little more than opportunities to celebrate the bonds of love with one's special ones.
A time to tell them that they are loved and cherished.
And, if it is her first Christmas after you both have exchanged 'I do', then the magic and enchantment just deepened.
Here's how to make her first Christmas after marriage a day filled with magical memories.
1.
Weekend getaways - the day after Celebrate Christmas with family and friends but save the best for last.
Whisk her off to some romantic weekend getaway where the two of you can really spend some 'us time' together.
Be back in time to usher in the New Year so that the entire period from Christmas till New Year will seem like one big party.
2.
Jewellery Always the number one favourite with most women.
It is intimate, it has sentimental undertones and is a constant (and visual) reminder of you.
Give her something meaningful though.
An exquisite necklace can become priceless if the pendant carries something personal that is just meant for the two of you.
A heart with two small pictures of the two of you.
Or, a diamond-studded ring which says, 'I Love You'.
3.
Pamper her Yes, the Christmas preparations would have likely kept her on her feet for hours on end.
Not to mention given her taut nerves - did her Christmas pressies manage to please everyone in the new extended family? Was her Christmas dinner a hit? Niggling worries that need some urgent TLC! Pack her off for an all-day pampering at a spa and let enjoy being totally relaxed and rejuvenated.
Want to join her as well? Then, book both yourselves in a couple spa and enjoy the seducing intimacy of dim lights, aromatic oils and stress-fighting massages.
Another option is to give her a gift pack of lush bath and beauty set with divine-smelling aromatic candles to recreate the spa experience right in your home! With you as the masseur, of course! 4.
Personalised gifts Sentiments run high during Christmas.
So, how about deluging her with sentimental bric-a-brac that would mean a lot to her? Create a special Love You Box for her.
Fill it with stuff that holds a special meaning for just the two of you.
Select a good quality box, preferably inlaid with mother-of-pearl.
Line it with velvet or silk and add a couple of memorable photographs of special moments, cute love tokens, little love notes and a love letter, and, finally, a beautiful personalised necklace or bracelet that has a special message from you.
5.
Get a little wicked This is great for couples who are totally comfortable with each other even in their intimate moments.
Go a little naughty this Christmas and make her feel like a sex siren all over again.
Buy her sensuous, erotic, naughty lingerie, fun and wicked adult games and their ilk to recreate the magic of your honeymoon.
Nothing like the cold winter evenings for getting cosy next to a blazing fireplace! 6.
Classy accessories Show her that you consider her one classy woman by giving her fashion accessories that are loaded with style - chic leather handbags, super soft stoles and wraps, or stunning jewellery boxes (with a sparkly present thrown in).
It is Christmas time, all you husbands! Go all out to play Santa and fulfil her wishes tonight!
