One of my favorite holiday activities is shopping.  Despite the holidays crowds, I love hearing the Christmas music in the background and can’t wait for my free sample of hot cider.  Plus, what better time of year than during the after Christmas sales, not only is everything inexpensive but there’s still one more holiday you need an outfit for – New Year’s Eve!  Here are some of my favorite looks:

Now that Thanksgiving has passed and Christmas music has filled up every shop and café, I’ve started to think about what Christmas gifts to get for friends and family.  Ornaments always make for a great gift, but creating it yourself makes it all the more special.  You don’t need to be artistic or even know how to draw, just find some plain clear ornaments, paint pens or glitter glue, and some ribbon and you can turn a plain ornament into a personalized gift for anyone.  Write Christmas greetings, favorite memories, or even draw a simple design for a simple, low-budget, and meaningful present.

Although a rainy day can seem disheartening, find something fun to do indoors and take advantage of the excuse to relax.  Curl up with a good book and make some peppermint cocoa, watch a movie with some buttery popcorn, or try a craft with the kids, such as rain sticks.
