December Daily Countdown

The month of December can be a lot. There are so many events and tasks that need to be attended to as we prepare for Christmas and the end of the year that it’s very easy to get overwhelmed and feel a little lost. For the last few years I’ve made an effort to plan something seasonal and fun that is just for me every weekday leading up to Christmas. These small, easy things ensure that I get to enjoy my favorite parts of the season while making space and time just for me. I really try to keep my daily countdown activities simple and achievable. Here are some of the things on my list this year:
- Spend the day listening to Christmas music
- Take time off to wrap gifts
- Get a pedicure
- Read a holiday themed book
- Watch Hallmark movies while I work
- Get a peppermint mocha and work at Starbucks
- Give myself a holiday manicure
Some of the other things that I’ve done in past years include:
- Take a drive in the snow
- Buy myself lunch
- Wander a store full of Christmas decor
- Watch a favorite Christmas movie
- Do a Christmas craft
- Make someone a handmade gift
- Drink fancy hot chocolate
What would you put on your daily countdown activity list?
