Christmas may come but once a year but
from October onwards the shops fill their shelves with gift boxes,
chocolates, decorations and gift wrap. The preparations for the
festive season seem to come earlier each year and with Christmas now
only a month away, it’s time for the Christmas preparations to be
underway. So here are some things to love about this time of year.
Christmas Shopping
The
calm before the Christmas shopping storm
Even though it can be stressful hitting
the high street at the weekends and battling the crowds in search of
the perfect Christmas gifts, roaming the shops with a group of
friends can be good fun – especially if you make time for lunch to
break up the day.
If you plan to get your Christmas
shopping done at least a week (or two) before Christmas you can enjoy
that great sense of achievement that the hard part is over and you
can look forward to wrapping your gifts whilst listening to your
favourite Christmas songs.
Christmas Jumpers
For years we dreaded opening a
Christmas present only to find a tacky, ugly Christmas jumper inside.
Nowadays, rather than receive a knitted homemade effort from a
distant relative, we head out to pick up our own novelty numbers.
Yes, the Christmas jumper has been making slow comeback over the past
decade or so, with many people going out en masse to buy them.
Check out this excellent
reindeer jumper ala Mr. Darcy at FancyDress Ball.
Christmas Movies
One of the best things about this timeof year is watching Christmas movies. From the tear-jerking
classics to heart-warming family festive tales, these are the movies
you can only get away with watching at this time of year, so cosy up
on the sofa and make the most of it!
Christmas Music
With only a limited amount of time to
listen to your favourite Christmas hits, why not put together a
playlist and enjoy listening to as much as you can this festive
season. Nothing gets you into the Christmas spirit quite like rocking
out to some Christmassy jams while you deck the halls and trim the
tree.
