I didn't want anything fancy that I would have to either put a whole bunch of money down for, or spend hours sewing something cutesy that my fruitcake cat would destroy in five minutes. I drew up an elementary school looking Christmas tree on Illustrator and wrote a different activity on each decoration. (How creative! I'm so smart. Imma give myself a cookie.)
Drew it up, printed it out, and now that sucker is on my fridge. Because that's how we roll.
For the activities I made up things that I could do seeing as how I live alone, (boo.) That would still be fun and not so depressing. Here's what I came up with:
- Christmas shopping!
- Put up the tree.
- Make paper snowflakes.
- Take donations to Goodwill.
- Send out Christmas cards.
- Find mistletoe.
- Bake cookies!
- Hot Cocoa party.
- Christmas Cantata (being held at my church.)
- Watch "It's a Wonderful Life".
- Make a popcorn garland.
- Make breakfast for dinner.
- Make mulled wine.
- Christmas party! (I usually hold one every year.)
- At home "spa" day.
- Eat dark chocolate! Because why not?
- Make beeswax candles.
- Watch "A Christmas Toy".
- Make a tin can lantern. (Done by punching holes in a tin can with a hammer and nail.)
- Winter Solstice celebration.
- Holiday manicure. (Why not? I'm going silver & gold.)
- Watch "A Muppet's Christmas Carol".
- Do a lights tour.
- Make a gingerbread house.
- Christmas Day! Whoop! :)
