1. Bake gingerbreads! Lovely smell of cinnamon, sweet frosting, the heat radiating from the oven and cookie cutters in the shape of christmas trees. "Last Christmas" in the background and slow sips of hot chocolate. There's nothing that feels more cosy than baking gingerbreads, especially with your friends or family. In general, I love helping my mom in the kitchen while she's cooking christmas meals.
2. Watch christmas movies. Personally, I recommend "Holidays". If I had to choose the best movie I would definitely choose this one. But there's many more films I like, for example "A Christmas Carol", "The Polar Express" and of course "Home Alone". It's a great opportunity to make a movie marathon!
3. Sincere wishes. Yesterday I was on the last yoga class before Christmas and afterwards we had a christmas meeting. A lot of cakes, cookies (of course delicious ones), tea, coffee and the festive atmosphere. I could never forget it. First time in my life I felt so moved because all those honest, beautiful wishes. Not only is it a wonderful feeling when people are so kind to you but also when you see them smile because of your wishes,
4. Smell! Maybe I'm weird but I love to smell things, especially food. When I walk around the kitchen I always smell anything my mom is cooking, when I cook I do the same. And there's few christmas scents that remind me previous holidays and childhood. Today in the morning I was helping my mom to bake a cheesecake and before that she had started to prepare poppy-seed cake. The smell of poppy seed makes me feel the christmas spirit, just like the smell of dumplings with mushrooms and cabbage or croquettes.
5. Presents. Stop thinking about the gifts you'll get and start to enjoy giving them to your loved ones! Surprise them, make something special, not necessary expensive but something to show your love. We often forget how important it is to tell people we love them, we take it for granted but Christmas is the time when we have a great opportunity to let them see what we feel. How many times this year you told your family you love them?
So these are my top 5 things to feel the christmas spirit. I have one more tip for you: let go. Stop thinking and worrying about everything for these few days, slow down and enjoy holidays. Let go all your worries, forgive yourself all mistakes and eat a cake ;) I'll write more about letting before New Year's Eve, Now, turn off your computer and go help your mom in the kitchen. Merry Christmas! ;)
(Sorry, I just like making lists of things, like "5 things..." or "7 ways to..." :D)
