Okay, so I love Christmas, I'm sure if you read my blog that you know this. However the older I've got the less festive I've felt, so now I actively seek out festive fun in the lead up to Christmas to ensure I still get that magical rush the festive period can bring.
I know other people struggle with feeling festive as they get older so I thought I'd come up with a huge list of 25 ways you can get into the festive spirit. Just in case you wanted to partake in the festive cheer everyday in December until Christmas Day!
1. Have a Christmas movie evening with yummy snacks (Love Actually, Home Alone and The Family Stone are my all-time favs! )
2. DIY easy but pretty clay Christmas tree decorations - found here.
3. Write a Christmas list both of what you plan to buy and what you are hoping for this year!
4. Spend a Sunday afternoon Christmas baking - I love the Nigella Christmas book
5. Pop on some Christmas Michael Buble or the Christmas Pop playlist on Spotify
6. Go Christmas decoration shopping. My favourite shops have to be The Range and Homesense!

8. If you're a mummy create a new tradition with Elf on the Shelf - Amazon here
