As we burrow into the heart of November, thoughts of Christmas may play on our minds, which is a hint that the season is well on its way. This year is truly a year for sentiment – a chance for people to show their appreciation for one another in very simple, but thoughtful forms. Instead of heading out to purchase mom a big screen tv, consider putting together an album of the year’s best pics to laugh over some hot cocoa. This year has definitely been the year of deep reflection and significant change. Meaningful gifts for the holidays help us to focus on what is important, and will also keep our minds focused on the people we love as we head into the year 2021.
Here are a few ideas you could try during your Sunday afternoons at home:
- Scrapbooking
Scrapbook past memories to create a book your family or friends will enjoy every Christmas. Give a gift that keeps on giving.
2. Old Christmas Card Comebacks
Dig up your old Christmas cards that someone has given you, and repurpose it into a brand new one for Christmas. Be creative and cut and paste, date and photocopy past messages to create a card your loved one will never forget!
3. Mason Jar Christmas Candles
Put together a beautiful décor piece that the receiver can use in their home for years to come.
4. Classic Christmas Home Videos
Capturing past hysterical Christmas moments to make an official video the whole family can come together to watch, and laugh until they cry.
There is so much work to be done before the big day! Start your brainstorming to come up with the perfect gift that will never be forgotten. Spread some cheer this holiday season! It will certainly be a welcomed change. Happy Sunday everyone!
