Step 1
National Whiners Day comes immediately after Christmas Day. As adults we probably are not as verbally honest about how we feel about our gifts as children are. You can look at a child's face and know if they are delighted, disappointed, or disgusted with the gift they just opened. As adults, we've spent years perfecting that "Just what I wanted" smile. While you may not want the giver to know how you feel about a gift you don't like, you can use National Whiners Day to whine about your disappointment to a friend (a very trustworthy friend), your spouse, or simply whine to yourself.

Step 2
While you're whining go ahead and whine about how tired you are from all of the party invitations you couldn't turn down, the hours you spent shopping, and the time you spent decorating. Whine about how long it will take you to get your decorations packed away and the house back in its proper order.

Step 3
While you have a designated day to whine, make sure you whine about everything that is annoying you. Whine about the weather if you don't like it. Whine about the world situation, your personal finances, or your appearance. Get all of your whining finished before midnight. By taking advantage of a day to whine, you can begin practicing living in a positive state of mind on December 27. By the time the new year arrives the concept of positive thinking will be your new good habit for the upcoming year.
