The Very Best Ways to Get in the Christmas Spirit

Best Way to get into the christmas spirit - The Very Best Ways to Get in the Christmas Spirit

For those of us who adore Christmas and plan for it all year, we all agree that it’s never too early to get into the Christmas spirit. Whether you are an experienced Christmas-spiriter, or perhaps finding your feet when it comes to the best ways to invoke and share the Christmas spirit in your home, we could all use a little inspiration for where to start and how to build on what we already have. We have put together a selection of our favourite tips and hints to help you on your way.

Music

Music is a perfect way to elevate your mood and help you find your Christmas spirit. When you think of Christmas music, you first probably think of traditional carols, and for good reason. You can never have too many of a good thing and with so many versions and variations of the classics, there is enough to sift through that you certainly won’t get bored, even if you start playing now! If you are looking for something a little more modern to add to your Christmas playlist this year, check out these cheerful Christmas playlist ideas. Break out your favourite Christmas playlist and you’ll be singing and dancing for the rest of the year.

 

Christmas Lists

Lists and plans of any kind can be really hard to follow and stick to properly when they only exist in your head and are not written down on paper. Having well thought out lists and plans is particularly important when it comes to the Christmas period as there is so much to remember often not enough time to think properly. Experience a hassle-free (and hopefully stress-free) Christmas with our Essential Christmas Checklist.

Scents

Send your Christmas spirit into overdrive and involve all the senses by incorporating the distinctive scents of Christmas into your décor. Use candles and other scented items or bake your day away for a truly immersive and sensory Christmas experience.

Movies

Christmas movies are another great way to get into the spirit of Christmas and have you feeling festive and joyful.  Whether it’s an action, comedy, romance or classic movie, your spirits are sure to be uplifted! Invite your friends and family over and treat yourselves to a well-deserved session of relaxation and enjoyment in front of the telly. We’ve put together some of our favourite Christmas movies if you need some ideas.

 

Get Organised

Christmas time can be an incredibly stressful time of the year for a lot of people, but there are ways to alleviate the stress and have fun. Never be afraid to take time out and ask for help when the silly season starts to overwhelm you. Take a look at our 5 top tips for a stress-free Christmas.

Decorate in Advance

“Christmas is 3 months away, it’s too early to decorate,” that little voice in your head says (or maybe it doesn’t, depending on what level of Christmas Crazy you are!). But, let’s face it, there’s a good chance that you’ll end up feeling too stressed or busy, or both, to do it as properly or as thoroughly as you might like if you leave it until the time that December comes around. We get it, Christmas is a busy time! You don’t necessarily need to go all out and put up your tree in September though if that’s a little too much for you to digest – start with the little decorations like stockings, elves and gorgeous floral arrangements like wreaths, garlands and other floral features.

We’ve got some tips as to how you can subtly start your Christmas decorating by incorporating your spring decorating with a touch of Christmas.

Seeing these fabulous decorations spotted around the place will definitely help to strengthen the Christmas spirit at your place and have it lasting for as long as you possibly can. Who doesn’t want to experience the joy and fun of Christmas in abundance and for as long as possible?

We know that there are plenty of ways to get into the Christmas spirit. You can never have too much Christmas spirit and it’s never to early to start spreading the festive cheer, so don’t hold back. Spread the Christmas spirit far and wide in as many ways as you can.
