The holiday season can be such a busy time. Between work deadlines, holiday parties, and long shopping lists to check off, the holidays tend to come and go before you can say mistletoe. Don't forget to set aside time this year to have fun and make some memories. Here are seven things you can do to enjoy the magic of the season this holiday.
1. Go gift shopping out of town. Chances are, shopping for gifts is on your to-do list. So, why not make a mini-vacation out of it? Take a day or weekend trip to go shopping somewhere you love to visit or have never been before.
2. See a live holiday play. Bring your favorite holiday stories to life by attending a live theater performance, which makes for a memorable experience and a fun holiday tradition.
3. Have a holiday movie marathon. This is the perfect excuse to get some relaxation time in and brush up on your holiday movie-quoting skills.
4. Bake cookies. Even if holiday baking is already a part of your annual tradition, mix it up this year by trying some new recipes or unique decorating tricks. Then, pass them out to your neighbors or coworkers to spread a little holiday cheer.
5. Get crafty. Skip the store-bought decorations and get in touch with your creative side. Try something like a DIY holiday wreath or handmade ornaments. This not only saves you money but also gives you unique mementos to cherish for holidays to come.
6. Go outside. If you live in a place with lots of snow, go sledding or build a snowman. If sandy beaches are more your thing, make sand angels instead. Getting some fresh air will help give you an added boost to combat the busyness of the holidays.
7. Attend a tree lighting ceremony. What better way to feel merry and bright than with a tree lighting ceremony or holiday light show? These events typically include food, live entertainment, and a little something for everyone in the family to enjoy.
