Rekindle your love life this Christmas

2. Create your own 'Christmas corner'
People let their living spaces get crowded with all sorts of odds and ends, knick-knacks and paperwork. Not only does this crowd their living areas, it crowds out their life and relationship. Clear out one area of your sitting room or bedroom to create a sexy little 'Christmas corner' for the two of you to snuggle up in every evening.

Have your CD player nearby (and television off), play some soft music, and cuddle and chat, even if it's only for 10 minutes. This sort of bonding time can make the world of difference to your stress levels.

To spice things up in this corner, keep a 'Santa's box of sexy secrets'. This will contain all the little things you two need to get sexy with each other. For example, your favourite lubricant or massage oil, sex toys, a pot of honey, or even a blindfold or handcuffs! These things will come in handy if snuggling in your Christmas corner puts you in the mood for more.

3. Mix up some magic
Now's the time to get smart with all the things you might have to prepare for Christmas. Do some Christmas cooking and making some lovely mince pies. Then take some time to hand-feed each other some pies warm from the oven. Slowly swirl some whipped cream around the tops of them and then have your partner lick the cream clean from the spoon. Such suggestive food-play is fun and sexy!

Getting stuck into present wrapping? Keep back some soft, silky ribbon to tease your partner with. You can be flirty and have a bit of a giggle by asking them if you can tie their wrists together gently.

Have them lie back and you can dangle the rest of the ribbon down their chest lightly, sensually stroking them. Be creative when doing your preparations. It is a fantastic way of keeping connected to each other during this busy season.
