Amidst another lockdown throughout November, its time to start thinking about another positive right around the corner – Christmas!! Times like these might be getting hard with still not being able to see your close loved ones, but there’s still some things I would wanna share with all to get that December spirit thriving and make it that something joyous in all the dark times we’ve faced this year.
- Start your Christmas shopping if you haven’t already.
- Go ham on the decorating!! Nothing better than turning all the festive lights on on a dark gloomy morning.
- Read a Christmas book from your favourite author.
- Indulge in all the festive bath products from Lush.
- Pick out your Christmas tree – get ready for arguments on the lights!
- Dedicate cooking or baking one day a week and make something new. I know we want to try and make a yule log this year!
- Take a walk no matter the weather.
- Host a Christmas themed quiz on Zoom with your nearest & dearest.
- Create your Christmas playlist – we know Michael Bublé has been defrosting since September anyway.
- Make mulled wine or try hot cider.
- Pamper yourself with Christmas nails. I would love a tartan design for mine!
- Wrap your presents to your favourite Christmas film.
- Wear your best (or tackiest, you decide) Christmas jumper on Christmas Jumper day.
- Buy a festive face covering.
- Attempt to make and put together a gingerbread house.
- Exchange in secret Santa
- Try all the festive meal deals – review coming soon!
- Celebrate Christmas on an alternate day. Christmas 2.0 or even 3.0 with your friends or support bubbles by watching films, eating and drinking all day and night.
- Have a small NYE celebration with sparklers.
- Kiss goodbye to 2020 & lets hope the next year brings more positiveness and happiness to all.
