| it's the thought that counts | It doesn't matter how small or inexpensive a gift is.... |
| tis the season to be jolly | This is a happy time of the year |
| deck the halls | decorate the house/building for Christmas |
| trim the tree | decorate the Christmas tree |
| there's no time like the present | now is the time to get something accomplished |
| quit cold turkey | gave something up immediately |
| dreaming of a white Christmas | wishing for snow on Christmas |
| bah humbug | not in the Christmas spirit |
| Christmas came early this year | you got a gift days before Christmas |
| Don't look a gift horse in the mouth | don't be ungrateful |
| chill out | calm down |
| Jack Frost will be nipping at your nose | so cold outside |
| left out in the cold | left out or excluded |
| snug as a bug in a rug | comfortable and cozy |
| the cold shoulder | being unfriendly |
| burning the candle at both ends | staying up late and waking up early |
