This holiday season may not be filled with events and gatherings with friends, family, and coworkers, but that doesn't mean we have to cancel the holiday magic. If I've realized anything this year it's how important it is to find magic in the little things. I hope this list helps you make this holiday season special!
Every year we decorate sugar cookies and it's one of my favorite traditions. This year I want to make this recipe, because YUM.
This is the best way to get into the holiday spirit in my opinion. I am the happiest when I am listening to Christmas music while putting up my decorations.
Whether it be cleaning out your closet and donating things you don't need, contributing to a toy drive, or sponsoring a family. It will make someones holiday season. Here are 7 ways you can give back this holiday season.
I am sure it will brighten their day and it will make you feel good too. It's been a tough year. It's been a tough year, we all need a little extra love.
Check out one of my OG blog posts 9 Holiday Cocktail Recipes for some inspiration.
Light a Christmas candle, refill your wall plug ins, or snag these scentsicles for your artificial Christmas tree. Scents are always a great way to get into the holiday spirit.
They say the happiest people are the people who practice gratitude every day and that is something I am actively working to do. It's also good to reflect on your goals + accomplishments throughout the year, so you can set new ones for the year ahead.
Create your own wreath, make an ornament, anything to get your creative juices flowing and make sure you put the date on it! It will be cool to look back on. Check out my Amazon Storefront for supplies or your local Hobby Lobby or Michaels.
Some of my favorites to watch every year are: Home Alone 1&2 (obviously), Just Friends, Surviving Christmas, Christmas with the Kranks, The Santa Clause, The Grinch, and Elf (again, obviously).
This is something I've loved doing since I was a kid. There's just something about seeing houses decked out with lights.
You can use Elfster as an easy Secret Santa Generator. After a year of our lives revolving around our computers/emails, it will be a sweet surprise to receive a piece of snail mail.
It could be anything on this list! Just pick something and continue to do it for years to come. If it doesn't feel special at first, I'm sure it will in the future.
