Entry #10. Christmas.

Christmas is just around the corner. The spirit has completely filled the air and it's beginning to really feel like the holiday season. I feel like every year Christmas comes and go even faster than the year before. Maybe it is because we live in the Arizona desert, where it is literally only cold for 3 months out of the year. I'm sure in other states where it snows or gets colder sooner they probably start to feel the winter holiday season much sooner than us.

This is a perfect time for selfless acts and putting other people's needs before yours. The holiday season brings together family and friends to spend time together making memories. Schools and businesses usually get some time off or at least Christmas Day itself to partake in different festivities. Most people have specific traditions they involve thenselves in each and every year and it's always fun to look forward to those set activities. 

A little list of fun things to do around this time of year include:

-Cooking and baking (for others & you of course!)

-Get a Christmas tree and decorate it!

-Add holiday decorations to your house and room! 

-Making cards for the ones you care about.

-Drive around and look at Christmas lights 

-Make hot cocoa and binge watch Christmas movies.

-Visit Glendale Glitters, Zoo Lights, or the holiday light parade downtown. 

-Create a gingerbread house. 

-Visit a family member or friend in town.

-Go Christmas caroling 

-Gather a box of clothes you don't wear or things you don't use anymore and donate it to a shelter of some kind. 

-Go out of town and visit a new destination!

-Shop the holiday deals! & Wrap/give presents.
