The holiday weekend is almost here. This December simply flew by & in just a few days I will be relaxing by the fireplace with my family, catching up on our lives & eating wait too much. I can’t wait! For today’s post, I decided to share some ideas for making your Christmas extra hyggellig this year.

Movies

There’s no better way for getting into that Christmas mood than watching all of your favourite films of the season! I cannot imagine my December without watching my top picks again & again. If you’re looking for inspirations, here’s my list: Home Alone, The Holiday, Love Actually, It’s a Wonderful Life, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Scrooged, Miracle On 34th Street. Let me know what are your favourites!

Music

If you’re looking for something more unique to listen to this Christmas than Buble’s album, check out Bandcamp’s Christmas favourites here. I bet you’re going to find the perfect choice for this holiday season. I also love listening to some jazz or fold when I get a bit bored by holiday tunes. Everything intimate works!

Smells

Stop saving those candles you keep buying for a special occasion & take the most out of them during this Christmas. If you feel extra festive, you can even bake some cookies or build a gingerbread house. Your home will smell marvellous & you will immediately get into that cosy mood.

Games

Don’t just spend your Christmas eating or watching TV. Gather all of your family & play a board game or two! It always turns out to be so much fun! If your household is not really into board games- download Heads Up and play some charades. Team games really bring us closer & that’s what Christmas is all about.

Hikes

Seriously, go outside! Even a short walk around your neighbourhood will make you appreciate your cosy home more. It’s also so much better for your mind & body to get some fresh air & exercise a little. I love all the wining & dining we get into during Christmas, but I have to stay at least a bit active in order to survive this feasting marathon! This is where owning a dog comes in handy. No matter what the day is- we still have to take Francis out for a walk & during Christmas, it’s so fun to do this as a family.

Ignore Your E-mail

Seriously, take a few days off, we all need this & I bet your clients will understand this. Struggling to do this? Read: Switching Off Over This Holiday Season.
