With christmas around the corner, we all know and despise that grumpy grinch who steals all of our festive cheer. But what if that beast is you?

This holiday season many people have asked me how to brighten their dull moods and entertain their bored lives, I suggest these few activities to boost their christmas spirit!

My 3 favourites:

1. Ice Skating

I too one dreaded that time of year when we all slide viciously on a thin ever so fragile sheet of ice, but i have never before realised what wonders it could behold. With the cool, crisp breeze blowing its gentle waves towards you, picture you and your loved ones huddled together like penguins ingesting the welcoming warmth of rich, delicious hot chocolate. Imagine all of the memories your could create bonding with those who matter most to you. You can make this fantasy into a reality by looking out for: Bluewater ice rink, Ice rink in Canary Wharf, and hyde Park, just to name a few!

2.  Baking cookies

Not only will baking these scrumptious treats fill that cold void within you, but envelop your house with a familiar sweet, delicious, buttery aroma, wafting festive cheer into your life. Whether you are with family, friends or by yourself this is the most fun and fulfilling activity you could ever dream of, The best part hadn't even arrived yet, let your imagination run free with all possibilities of decoration for your masterpieces. From santa's hat to the carrot nose of a snowman, you can bring life to whatever you imagine 

3. Christmas Pj's!

I know you dreamt of buying that one pair of red and white cross checkered pajamas or perhaps that fluffy white christmas jumper? Well now is the time to do it, it is not only stated scientifically but physiologically that surrounding yourself with your favorite christmasy essentials can increase your serotonin by drastic levels! What other reason do you need? There are also various fifferent shops in person or online which have huge sales going on for all christmas items, you can check out shops like: H&M, Primark, and New Look to discover your perfect christmas clothing!

Other ideas of festive activities to do this winter are: christmas karaoke, visiting christmas stalls, giving gifts, making cards, going sledding , and a public favorite.....christmas shopping!

Overall, December can be seen as a miserable, gloomy moth with the days turning dark, and the nights turning cold, it i shard to see a light in the storm. So now allow yourself to partake in just a couple of these activities to help you race across that finish line!
