Movie Nights
A really simple way to enjoy a nice night at Christmas time is to choose your favorite movie, pull out the blanket and some pillows for a cozy nest, make some yummy snacks, and have a movie night with your family. It doesn’t need to be a Christmas movie. It can be any movie that you and your family enjoy. It can be a nice breather away from the hustle and bustle of Christmas time.
Have A Christmas Craft Day
Another lovely activity to do is to have a Christmas craft day. You can have a nice quiet day doing this by yourself, or you could include some friends or your kids. Have a look at Pinterest and see if you can get some ideas. Then, gather the suppliers that you will need to have a nice, relaxed day of crafting. You could even think about making some Christmas cards or Christmas decorations.
Shop Early
One of the things that makes Christmas really stressful is the fact that you have to go out Christmas shopping. One of the best things that you can do is to shop nice and early so that you don’t have to head out for Christmas presents at the last minute. You could even start wrapping them as soon as you buy them, and then you won’t have that last-minute fumbling of wrapping presents for the big day. Whether it’s a children’s present or a present for your partner, think about starting your shopping now.
Host A Small Christmas Party
Christmas may be a time to spend with family and friends; however, this does not mean you need to spend a Christmas party with all of them there at the same time. If you want to have a slow Christmas, then you may want to think about having a low-key Christmas party. Skip getting the gifts and just spend some quality time together. It doesn’t have to be a lot of people, just a small group of your closest family and friends.
Dedicate And Evening To Wrapping Presents
You are not going to be living a slow Christmas if you plan on wrapping all your presence on Christmas Eve. Start thinking about planning a day or an evening when you can pop on a Christmas movie, possibly have a nice glass of wine, or listen to Christmas music while you are wrapping all the presents.
