Feeling Festive: Fun Winter Activities

Last year I barely noticed Christmas was approaching until the last week of term… this year its constantly on my mind! Maybe it’s the amount of deadlines I have before the end of term that’s pushing me towards festive procrastination… With that in mind, here’s a list of 23* activities you can try to get in the festive mood or do to avoid doing work like me!

1. Visit the Christmas Market in Market Square
2. Go ice-skating
3. Make paper chains and snowflakes
   – you can buy a pack for a couple of quid or make your own!
4. Decorate your flat/house/room – tree, tinsel, mistletoe – the tackier, the better!
5. Christmas Bake Off
6. Christmas Movie Night
7. Go to a winter/Christmas formal
8. Buy an advent calendar
9. If you are religious, attend special services and activities at your place of worship
10. Do a secret Santa
11. Donate presents to children’s charities
12. Similarly, donate your time at a soup run or wrapping said presents
13. Play Mariah Carey on repeat
14. Create a Christmas pub quiz
15. Re-enact the Jingle Bells dance from Mean Girls
16. Host a pre-Christmas dinner
17. Go carol singing
18. Christmas Karaoke
19. Go present shopping
20. See a pantomime
21. Go and see Christmas lights
22. Make the fanciest hot chocolate you can
23. Build a gingerbread house

ENJOY x

*(Don’t worry, I’ve not forgotten how many days are in Advent – 23 is the number of days between now and the end of term!)
