Christmas is just around the corner and although we are expecting it to be a little different this year, there is still plenty that we can enjoy. Here are some of the festive things that you can still make the most of in the run up to Christmas and into the festive season…

Decorating the house – This is the year to really go big with Christmas decorations. The world needs the light in the darkness more than ever, so make the most of the festive season and enjoy it! Hang twinkly lights around the front windows to spread plenty of festive cheer, and of course, decorate your tree – one of the popular themes for trees this year is rainbow colours, a tribute to the children’s rainbows that were put in windows earlier in the year.

Christmas Shopping – Giving gifts is a fun part of the festive season, and even though you may not be able to see all of the family this year, letting them know that they are still in your thoughts with a gift is a lovely idea. You can buy a wide range of things online, so no need to rush around shops – even for the difficult to buy for men there are great gifts out there, like this black Secrid wallet from EJ Menswear.

A Winter Walk – This time of year is a great time to get out and enjoy the countryside. A crisp winter walk will boost your health both mentally and physically, and walking is a proven mood booster too – so get out, wrap up warm and enjoy the great outdoors.
