The holidays
have come just about as fast as a celibate man this year. It's okay to laugh at that... Listen. All I'm
saying, is the year flew by and before we know it, we’ll be kissing the
floor passed out on New Year's. Okay. I'll speak for myself on that one. But after talking to several friends, most aren’t done shopping, let alone in
the holiday spirit. This is the time of
year to create moments and traditions, so, here’s a few tips on how to make the
holidays special, especially if you’re single.
1. Decorate. To be very honest, I was not "in
the spirit” until I decorated my home. There is something about glitter
and lights that makes everything alright. Pick a theme and run with it.
I love snowmen, so I have those and itty, bitty twinkle lights all over.
Get festive pillows and throws to bring the theme together. It is also
nice to put decorative items in frequented locations in the house to soak up
the holiday vibe.
2. Find a Great Mug. Mugs have an extraordinary way of holding
more than hot cocoa topped with marshmallows, but memories as well. The holidays is a great time to be
in search of a special mug to start establishing memories of your own over time. Create different holiday drinks you can make
to get use out of your mug like 12 days of Christmas Cocktails [mock-tails if
you don’t drink]. Drink
responsibly-haha.
3. Make a Christmas Songs Playlist. I love this idea because
music cures the soul! There’s nothing like listening to Nat King Cole's
"The Christmas Song", having a cup of festive eggnog and by festive I
mean spiked (LOL) with candles lit around the room. You've got yourself a whole MOOD! Pick a few songs that will make you shake your booty while you're baking cookies or online shopping in my case.
4. Cozy Up with a Holiday Blanket and Pajamas. Put a pair of pajamas
on Christmas Eve and get a nice comfortable blanket to snuggle under, while
watching classic Christmas movies. My
personal favorite is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation-never gets old. Make sure you shop for those jammies early because all the cute pj sets are sold out in most locations. Must be a popular idea. Take a few selfies dressed all comfy-I would [shoulder shrug] and have a relaxing evening!
5. Create a Favorite Christmas Movie List. Netflix has a nice selection of holiday
movies. Save them to your “My List”
making a Christmas Eve lineup and don’t forget the popcorn! If you know me, you know I LOVE popcorn with a glass of wine of course! This is a wonderful way to bring in the
holiday and keep yourself entertained until family festivities begin the next day.
These
are just a few ideas you can do on your own, with your dog, family or
friends. Use one of these tips to create
a new tradition! I hope it brings you a little
happiness and joy. Happy Holidays!

Luv Britt
