‘Tis the season to be jolly. ‘Tis also the season to celebrate, eat too much and have at least one mini meltdown whilst Christmas shopping. Here are some items to tick off your list as you go through the carnival that is the season of winter:
- Walking. See the sights of the season, wrap up warm and let the cold air blow away the cobwebs.
- Give someone a wonderful winter by making it fun for them. This might mean planning little Christmas crafts for little ones, treating a friend to a decadent hot chocolate or baking special dog biscuits for your pet.
- Scents of winter. Light that cinnamon spice candle or make your own pot pouri. Let the scents of Christmas past take you back…
- Festive fashion. Buy into the tacky delight of Christmas jumpers or accessorise with festive jewellery.
- A Christmassy outing. Treat yourself to a festive trip. Chomp on roasted chestnuts at a Christmas market, make a fool of yourself ice skating, or feel all soothed by a carol service.
- In the kitchen. Hearty dinners full of goodness and made with love. Carb heavy, soul warming dishes like nut roast and potato gratin. Don’t forget the sweet treats either – these orange and ginger stained glass biscuits would be a jolly addition to anyone’s life.
- Silence. Enjoy a few moments of quiet amid the chaos of the season, whether it’s to read, meditate or simply relax.
- Crafts. We all need glitter in our lives right now. This DIY candle holder is easy yet enchanting.
- Reading. This blog is called The Literary Lady after all. Build up a stack of books ‘to read’ over winter and make yourself your own reading nook in which to devour them in the coming weeks. Merry Christmas to us!
