When the wind is whirling, temperatures are dropping, and the days feel shorter, we know that winter has arrived. Being bored this winter is NOT an option.  Here are the coziest things you can do at home this winter to stay extra festive and embrace the holiday spirit.

1.Reading

Snuggle up with your favorite book and light a holiday candle. Want to make your experience more enjoyable? Sip a cup of tea while reading your book, and try the Candy Cane Green Tea from Trader Joe’s. There must be so many books on your list that you’ve been wanting to read, but do not have time to. This winter is the perfect time for you to start to do some fun reading!

2. DIY Decorations

To give your house a touch of that holiday magic, create DIY decorations. Put up some garland, decorate your tree with fun ornaments, or even make your own! The creative opportunities are endless when it comes to holiday decor. Decorating alone or with family and friends is such a fun process, and it will indulge your winter with the holiday spirit!

3. Christmas List

Wanting to get into the Christmas spirit? Open your computer and start making your Christmas list. You can make a slideshow including images and links with everything you want, or you can also use apps such as GoWish that can help you organize your wishlist better. There are probably so many things that you want to get for Christmas and the New Year, and you need to put them on your list! This is the time to get creative and start brainstorming! Maybe turn on your favorite comfort show while doing so. 

4. Sleepover With Friends

Time to wind down! Have a Christmas sleepover with your girls! Watch your favorite classic movies like Elf, Home Alone, or Christmas Chronicles while drinking hot chocolate from your own personal hot cocoa bar in your comfy Christmas PJs. The opportunities are endless.
