The ground is blanketed in snow so, naturally, I am sick and have been out of school for the past two days. However, it is nice to have some time to watch movies, read my books, and spend a little time at home with my little dog, Mischa. I think it's amusing how she is supposed to be so white and, when compared to the snow on our patio, she looks almost tan.
I see many blog posts from others with ideas of how to stay jolly during the dark, frigid days of winter and I thought I would post a few of my own...
1- Put twinkly Christmas lights everywhere! Add some vanilla candles and bask in the glow of the season.
2- Eat soup, hot chocolate with marshmallows, tea, and coffee often
3- Read a good book. I'm currently reading Jane Eyre
4- Learn a new craft such as crocheting, knitting, drawing, calligraphy, etc. I just learned how to crochet (i made the coasters above..) and it is a great way to spend some free time.
5- Write your dear ones letters. Make them beautiful and decorate the envelope. Sending others random gifts will help brighten both their day and yours.
6- Listen to Christmas music.
7- Plan something: a dinner with friends, a movie night, a party- anything. Then you have something to look foreward too and it brings friends together.
So there's my short list. Now I'm going back to bed to try to recover from my sniffles before work tonight.
