15 Dates That Will Put You In The Christmas Spirit

In This Article:

I know everyone's holiday spirit may be a little bit lower than in previous years because of the current circumstances. A global pandemic has definitely been able to affect a lot of things in our lives this year, but I think the one thing it can't take from us is our Christmas Spirit. Spending time with a significant other or loved one is one thing all of us can do that doesn't usually go against CDC guidelines. So with two weeks left till Christmas, here is a list of dates that will raise the Christmas spirit even during a global pandemic.

Hot Chocolate Christmas Movie Marathon 

Pick a few of your favorite christmas movies, get in your favorite pjs, make some hot cocoa, and get comfortable!

Christmas Light Drive By

Personally, my favorite thing to do during the holiday season is drive around different neighborhoods and see all of the different Christmas lights.

Build a Home, Gingerbread Style

I think the best way to test if you work well with someone is by building a gingerbread house together.

An activity that can be done in a night, or over the span of a few weeks! Make a list of all the places that sell hot cocoa around you and get hunting! Go to each one and see who has the best hot cocoa!

Outdoor Ice Skating 

Outdoor ice skating just screams Christmas to me. It gives me that main character of a Hallmark movie kind of feeling. Bundle up in your favorite warm outfit, hold on to each other tight, and enjoy a night on the ice!

Christmas Karaoke Competition

The best way to get into the holiday spirit is listening to Christmas music. This just takes it up a notch. Whether you have a real microphone lying around or you just wanna use a television remote, it is a free and easy way to celebrate the holidays.

Make it out of paper, plastic, or quite literally anything you can find around the house.

DIY Stockings

A fun way to celebrate your Christmas season with your partner is to make stockings together! To make it more interesting, try making each other's stocking rather than your own! Test how well they know your taste!

Ugly Sweater Competition

Whether you find it, make it, or buy it, go find each other the ugliest Christmas sweater you can find. Whoever found the ugliest one wins!

Bake Christmas Cookies

You know with Christmas coming up, you're gonna have to get cookies ready for when Santa comes!

Fake Christmas Card Photo Shoot

Find a pair of matching pjs, onesies, ugly sweaters, or whatever you think suits you best and get the camera ready!

DIY Christmas Cards

I know a lot of us are gonna be sending Christmas cards because of our COVID holiday, so instead of just buying one from the store and signing it try making it a little bit more sentimental. Make them yourself and show your family how much you love them!

Christmas Dish Competition

You and your partner pick your favorite holiday dish to cook! Have a taste test at the end and see who wins!

Decide on a New Christmas Tradition

Whether it be watching a specific movie, baking a certain item, or doing a specific thing, pick a tradition you will be happy to repeat every year!

DIY Holiday Reef

This is an especially fun activity for couples that just moved in with each other or live together! Run to your local craft store and get crafting!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
