Christmas cards; That will make them feel especial. Someone Birthday is during this month? Send them a beautiful card with a nice poem in it as a birthday present.
Christmas tree: Have you decorated the Christmas Tree yet? My Christmas Tree is 7 feet high and pretty wide and takes me 4 hours to decorate. Try decorating the house. Dollar store is around the corner, it really has lots of pretty things to decorate your home with.
Bake some cookies; I really enjoy my next activity, it’s my favorite part of the holidays, I make cookies, and color them with my Grandkids. Not this year. Due to the Covid19? Make them yourself! Pack them up and send them to your loved ones. It also places you in a happy cheer. (unless you eat them yourself) that’s fun too.
Go ice Skating; If there is an indoor “Ice-skating Ring” or an outside one around your area. Find one outdoors, just wear a mask.
How about making home made ornaments for your tree? Try using shining wrapping paper, draw gingerbread men of many colors.
Drive around looking a decorated home and their Christmas lights design. My Fiancé took me to this house who was so loaded with lights and they blinked to the Christmas radio station Christmas music. That was so Amazing to me. We could have sat there in our car for hours, But cars were starting to park all around us. That was so enjoyable.
Bake some banana Bread and after they are cooled down, eat them with butter on them. Delicious. Get recipes from google- Yummy!
Volunteer to visit a nursery home, the hospital, a Veteran and offer them your baked cookies and a sugar cane. It will make them very happy and you will lighten up your heart when you see their faces smile back at you. It’s a great experience. Afterwards. Wear your Mask!
Make yourself a Abuelita hot Mexican chocolate…Stir it with a Sugar cane to cool it down. The peppermint flavor of the candy cane will melt inside and OMG! Humm… good!
Decorate a gingerbread house while you’re enjoying a hot cup of chocolate. Those are so fun to build. Especially if you have an extra-large bag of all colored skittles. Those are for the line of the roof. Just fill it with all the possible colors. Fun!
Watch Christmas movies on T.V. or Netflix, there’s always tons of Christmas movies to watch, some are so “feeling good” type of movies. Makes you “want to fall in love”.
Make homemade gifts for your loved ones. One Christmas, I got some calendars from the Dollar Store and filled the days with birthday dates and a paper picture of the person who was having the birthday. Plus, at that time my daughter was pregnant with my grandchild and shared his ultrasound picture on the delivering date. It was a keeper Calendar! I still have one that I used as a copy. That was 14 years ago.
Well, my dear ones, I hope I have brightened your Christmas a little with some of my ideas. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! Manny blessings.
