I know, I know. Halloween was last weekend. And for some people, that's too early to start thinking about the winter holidays. And for some, it's not. Guess what? Both are okay! No matter what your mindset is, it's ok to look forward to the holiday season, whether that's this week or next month!
1. Christmas music on the radio
It's super fun to listen too while your driving, to play in the background while you sip hot cocoa, or to dance to when you're bored (or cleaning 5 minutes before your entire family is supposed to arrive).
2. Getting a Christmas tree
Take some artsy pictures, find the perfect tree, and spend time with your family. Bonus points if it's snowing.
3. Decorate said Christmas tree
Once you pick your tree ( and you know, let it settle), turn up the Christmas tunes, grab some gingerbread men and hot cocoa, and pull out all the ornaments and go to town!
4. Shopping
I love to shop for myself, don't get me wrong, but shopping for other people is my favorite. ESPECIALLY when the stores are all decorated for Christmas!
5. Thanksgiving
Turkey. Mashed potatoes. Cranberry sauce. Corn. Stuffing. Food. Enough said.
6. Hot cocoa
Because it's chilly outside, you can pretty much get away with drinking hot cocoa 3 or 4 times a day. Take advantage of this.
7. Snow
Whether you're nine or nineteen or ninety nine, spend some time out in the snow. Build a snowman, build a snow fort, or have a snowball fight. Make sure to have some fun this winter season. Maybe throw up some christmas lights while you're at it!
8. Christmas Movies
There's probably too many to watch in one year, ( Unless you watch like three a day for the entire year), but make sure you watch at least a few during the holiday season. I promise you won't regret it. They're sure to put you in a good mood.
9. Decorating your entire house
Have you made a giant paper chain and hung it around your entire house? Have you cut out paper snowflakes? Set up a train set? Put up window clings? Decorated your bushes and trees with strings of lights? All of these things are Christmas essentials. So go to town!
10. See a light show
These are literally everywhere. Turn up the Christmas music and visit one or two. Or a hundred if you're feeling a holiday road trip!
11. Go iceskating
And if you don't know how to skate, go with people who do! It's always tons of fun.
There are tons of things to do during the holiday season. So make sure to make the best of it! It only comes once a year you know!
