Play

Inspired by Gretchen Rubin of The Happiness Project, I took some time at the beginning of this year to write out a monthly goal to help me start taking steps to be the person I want to be and live the life I want to live. For example:

                              February: Love isn't love 'til you give it away.

                              March: Clean in the cracks. And schedule it!

                              June: Write. 

                              August: Cook.

                              November: Create.

I chose November to be a month to create things, hoping that I could get Christmas things out of the way, leaving December for...

Play.

December is an excellent month to play, between the get-togethers, concerts, plays and musicals. I often get stressed with so much on my plate, but I made a good attempt to get some of those things out of the way, such as gift buying. Now all I have to do is enjoy myself and soak up the season (for the most part).

I made a list of things I could do to feel the Christmas spirit and really enjoy myself this month. To be reasonable, my goal is to do at least 5 of these things:

Make a ginger bread house.

Go to a Christmas concert.

Read a Christmas book.

(any suggestions?)

Give.

Make a Christmas decoration.

Clean to Christmas music.

Go sledding or play in the snow.

What do you do to feel the holiday spirit and enjoy yourself this time of the year?
