Put your imagination into your work and you will have a lot of fun. You are preparing for new starts in new areas once the festivities are over. The chance to add spark to a dull relationship should not be overlooked. An older relative will make some entertaining observations.

If someone disagrees with you, you aren't going to stick around debating the issue. This will be a waste of your valuable time. You will be happier to go your own way. There is talk in the family of a future holiday but nothing yet will be agreed on.

Think before you speak. Curb your festive spirit or a joke might misfire or high spirits could get out of hand. Your feedback will have a strong effect on the outcome of workplace discussions. Choose the words you use very carefully. Artistic and creative work will help you relax.

You need to think over a number of issues that have come under discussion these past few days. Consider everything carefully. You're imagining the huge hurdles you have to climb in order to achieve a special aim but is it your negativity that is getting in the way

The light-hearted and jovial mood that begins your day echoes your own lively spirits. There won't be any problem getting others to fall in with your festive plans. If you turn down an offer made to you today, you could miss out on similar opportunities in time to come.

Look at the most obvious and you will make better progress than if you spend too long on details or start exaggerating difficulties in your mind. A family situation that has been a thorn in your side since the start of December is dealt with at last.

Don't bury feelings deep inside. Spill out what you are thinking and you could be surprised by how many other people feel the same way. So talk your hopes, fears, plans and dreams over today and get some feedback from your family and close friends.

You are starting to feel restricted by the demands of others around you. A neighbour is constantly on your doorstep. A colleague is always hanging around you and a friend expects you to call them and respond to their continual text messages. You just want some peace and quiet.

Discussions on religion and spirituality will get quite deep and you will find them meaningful. You're reminded of all the things you had been hoping to achieve this past year. If some goals haven't been reached, you can still make an effort to make a dream come true.

You aren't going to be pleased to have to change some of your arrangements in order to fall in with a relative's changing moods. They knew you would object which is why they have been so secretive and have waited until the last moment to tell you of their new plans.

If you have anything important to say to a loved one, say it now. Broach the subject this Christmas and there will be pleasant consequences. A big decision lies ahead of you. If no one else is involved and you are aware of all the pros and cons, it's up to you whether or not you give something a go.

News of a friend's forthcoming engagement or wedding will give you something extra to celebrate this Christmas. A relative's actions will take you by surprise. A friend or neighbour's gratitude for a favour you do for them will have made the expense and effort well worth it.
