6 Activities to Do with Friends this Christmas

December 1, 2018

6 Activities to Do with Friends this Christmas 1

“Christmas is a day of meaning and traditions, a special day spent in the warm circle of family & friends.” ― Margaret Thatcher

It can be hard to find time to come together with all your friends throughout the year, as you might all have busy lives and responsibilities.

However, Christmas provides the perfect opportunity to set a date to have a little fun and make memories with your friendship group.

If you want to ensure you and your pals enjoy an unforgettable holiday, here are six activities to do with your friends this Christmas:

1. Go Ice Skating

 

Ice skating is one activity most people add onto the festive bucket list, as it allows you to perfect your skating skills and have some fun with your nearest and dearest.

You can trust you will be creasing with laughter when one of your friends falls on their butt, and you’ll have a great time pulling each other along and helping a friend up when he or she falls down.

You never know, it could turn into an annual Christmas tradition.

 

2. Catch a Festive Show

 

If you want to embrace a feel-good experience this festive period, grab yourself some cheap theatre tickets to attend a festive show near you, such as A Christmas Carol.

A seasonal production is sure to get you into a festive mood, so arrange to catch a show at a superb theater this holiday.

3. Attend a Festive Light Display

 

Many cities and towns across the country will provide fantastic festive light displays, which you and your pals will not want to miss.

You’re bound to feel the magic of Christmas as you watch the colorful lights switched on for the festive season, followed up by a cup of hot cocoa and maybe even a glass of mulled wine.

Simply browse the events calendar near you before making a date with your friends.

 

4. Explore a Christmas Market

 

Nothing can quite beat exploring Christmas markets, browsing different festive trinkets, buying unique gifts for loved ones, and treating yourself to a seasonal drink or two.

You could even head off together on a festive break to visit one of the finest markets in the world, which you could find in Berlin, Prague, Krakow, or Vienna.

5. Go Christmas Caroling

 

If you want to do something a little different this year and embrace an experience you’re unlikely to forget, consider Christmas caroling with your friends.

Even if you’re not a blessed singer, you can guarantee you’ll have plenty of fun knocking on people’s doors and singing them a festive song, such as “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree” or “Silent Night.”

 

6. Organize a Movie Night

 

Of course, you don’t necessarily need to go out to have some festive fun with your friends.

Invite everyone over to watch a Christmas movie while munching on popcorn, drinking mulled wine and curling up with blankets.

You can laugh aloud while watching Elf or Home Alone, and you can guarantee you will all be reaching for the tissues once It’s a Wonderful Life has come to an end.

#flashback | This was one of my very favourite pho #flashback | This was one of my very favourite photoshoots I did with @tullylovesaphoto. I felt free, confident, sexy, strong & I had belief in myself that I could be just as good as any top influencer/blogger. But a year after that photo session, my ongoing battle with severe anxiety became excruciatingly worse over time. I lost all belief, my self confidence disappeared, I started to hate the way I looked & I started to hide from friends, family & the world... to be honest I felt like walking away & giving up my blog and IG; I thought no one would care & I'm not good at what I do anyway... but I stayed.

It's been a long journey to get back. I'm not completely there 100% but I am making slow baby steps. I take each day as it comes. Some days are good & I think, "the Queen is back!" but then something can trigger me & I am back to panicking, hyperventilating, negative thoughts, and just wanting to hide. The difference this time is I don't want to walk away. I want to come back & do/show what I love. 

And that is fashion, skincare, photoshoots, striking a pose ha-ha!! doing my car karaoke sessions, and so much more- just being me. I hope you all can be patient, and stay with me. A butterfly is re-emerging 🦋 #butterfly #mentalhealthsupport #anxietysucks

It's been a long time since I did an outfit shot & It's been a long time since I did an outfit shot & many of you know I suffer terribly from severe anxiety & depression. And for the past year, my self-esteem, self-confidence, self-belief has bungee jumped severely way way WAY downnnnnnnn low...!

I am at a constant inner war battle within myself, and my self worth. But today is the first step forward doing an outfit shot. 

Do I like this photo or outfit? Meh! 🤔 I am showing me in this present moment. A vulnerable, fragile and insecure me but one who is slowly, desperately: trying. And by doing that, I'm actually empowering my spirit & soul. By TRYING. I'm not, and will not allow my mental health issues to define, me. 

So, once upon a time I only wanted to show only the good photos that I liked to be shown on my blog/social media... I was afraid to show (reveal) my human flaws, my icky shots when I felt shitty, ugly, old(er), bloated, fragile (mental health) moments. Not anymore.

Today I make a conscious decision to show what the day is really like for me. In all its beauty: the good, the bad and the (OMG what was she thinking) ugly; but in all its glory. Its a positive day.

Outfit: turtle neck jumper from Kmart Australia , cargo tartan pants & knee high boots from PrettyLittleThing.com, handbag from Salvos Stores
