Hi everyone, not long til Christmas now! If you are bored and don't know what to do, this post is for you. I'm going to be sharing quite a few ideas with you so hopefully you won't be bored anymore! This is the outside version, there is an inside version already on our blog which is on Blogmas day 11 xx
- Grab a christmassy drink from Starbucks or Costa - I have already done this and I want to do it again. I went to Costa as they have an amazing hot chocolate menu! It's also a great way to catch up with friends, I went with my best friend who I have known since I was born but she moved to America when we were 6 but now she is back! We spent the whole afternoon chatting.
- Get a Christmas tree - Go to a Christmas tree farm place, to get a real tree. My family has always had a fake tree until this year, and it was so fun going. I couldn't go to the actual farm in my wheelchair but I watched and we got a hot chocolate there and it just made me feel really festive.
- Go Christmas shopping - You don't need loads of money to do this, you can even just look around. It's always such a lovely atmosphere in town, even though it's really busy but I think that just makes you feel even more festive. I just love buying people presents, I usually don't do the actual shopping, but I give the ideas and wrap them.
- Go to a Winter Wonderland - I'm not sure if it's just where I live that we do this, but it's just like a massive christmas fair. It also has all the markets, this is a really good thing to do with your family as there is something for everyone ;))
- Go out for a lovely Christmas meal with your friends/family - I tend to forget about this one, but I went to Pizza Hut with my friends the other day and it was just so so nice to catch up. You can also eat really good food which is always good :))
- Go ice skating - I personally can't do this but some of my family went last weekend and said they had the best time. This is a pretty stereotypical one but it 1. it's so fun and 2. it makes you feel very christmassy and very wintery!
- Go on a walk round a park - Not the one down the road but like a big park. If you wrap up warm this is really fun and again you can have a good catch up with your friend(s)/family
- Have a winter photoshoot - This ties in with number 7 but who doesn't love flawless instagram feed?! My favourite instagram accounts are always taking new and amazing pictures and I want to do that to.
- Go food shopping for a local food bank - I'm not just saying this to be all good, but I actually do this. In my school we collect loads of food and take it to a few food banks. Also in tesco they ask you to pick up a few items and put them in a basket when you are coming out. I feel like even though I have a chronic illness I take a lot for granted, I have a roof over my head and I have a loving supportive family and I have FOOD! This is such an easy way to donate and you don't need a lot of money, simply pick up a few cans of the supermarkets own make things and that will come to like £1!
- See a Christmas film at the cinema - Sometimes the cinema put on re runs of old Christmas films which is always good. I went to see Arthur Christmas last year and that was really good and they are also not as expensive as normal cinema ticket. There is also always a new Christmas film out, I am not sure what ones are out this year though!
- Go on a decoration hunt - This is a family tradition in my house we go all around where we live and search for amazingly decorated houses. This is really fun and we are usually out for a good hour, it really just depends how far you travel.
- Visit family - Bit of an obvious one but I do this all the time and it's escpecially lovely when you visit older people in your family aka gran and grandad as they really treasure it.
- Hand deliver Christmas cards and presents - I know a lot of people are busy around the holidays and tend to just post them, which can get expensive. I also find people really like when they are hand delivered as they know that you have put extra effort to hand deliver it.
Hope you liked this post and aren't bored anymore! - em <3
