Festivals bring happiness and excitement to us otherwise boring life. Giving us a break from our busy schedules to indulge with our friends and family, there are some special occasions spread throughout the year that give us a chance to celebrate. There are plenty of festivals that are celebrated with utmost enthusiasm across the globe. Christmas is one such special occasion that everyone waits for all year long.
It is undoubtedly the most exciting and amazing time of the year, where friends and family come together to spend some quality time with each other. Christmas is the ideal occasion to have the “We Have Time” with your friends and family. If you are also among those people who love the idea of Christmas, you would know there are several special things about Christmas that are worth celebrating. As children, we used to love every little thing about Christmas, be it the holidays or the never-ending preparations.
Let’s rekindle those memories and explore the best thing about Christmas and make it even more special this year.
Christmas Tree
What’s a Christmas without a Christmas tree. It is one of the essential and amazing parts of Christmas. Decking it up with your family and sharing a splendid time is one of the cherishing moments of Christmas. Shopping for Christmas is another great experience that you shouldn’t miss. Take your time out, go Christmas tree shopping, and decorate it with your family.
Snow
Of course, Christmas is not always white and snowy, but if you are lucky, you can expect some snow that can make the Christmas celebration even more special. You can make a snowman in front of your home, and there’s no age to play with the snow. If it is snowing around Christmas, then no doubt, your Christmas is going to be extra special that year. Cherish each moment with your family when it’s snowing outside.
Eggnog
It is a traditional sweet beverage made during Christmas. The main ingredient of this drink includes eggs (whites and yolks), sugar, whipped cream, and milk. In some recopies people also add distilled alcohol like brandy, whiskey, rum, etc. Making eggnog and relishing it with your family besides the fireplace is another great experience that you can only have during Christmas. No one would make eggnog on a casual morning; it is something that you must savor at Christmas.
Lights
What would be a celebration without lightening it up? Lights are an extremely important component of Christmas that helps in creating a happening vibe. Apart from the Christmas tree, you should decorate your entire house with lights to make your home a lively place. When people would cross your street, they should feel that Christmas has come to your home. Fairy lights are the ideal choice to deck up your home and tree.
Santa
Can you imagine a Christmas without a Santa? Possibly cannot. As kids, we used to love the idea of Santa’s existence and make our little wishes. Kids just love how Santa comes every year and handover gifts from his bags. As grownups, we still want to believe in Santa and never forget to bring Santa into the celebration. Becoming Santa of your family and bringing them gifts is something special you can do at Christmas.
Hot Chocolate
Christmas is always chilly and cold. Grabbing a cup of hot chocolate and chit-chatting with your friends and family is the most amazing feeling you can only get on Christmas. It is that time of the year when everyone comes together to spend quality time with one another, and a cup of delicious hot chocolate will work as icing on the cake of celebration. Bring your friends home and plan hot chocolate to get together to kickstart the celebrations.
Christmas Sweaters
You might wear sweaters and jackets all year long, but there is something unique about Christmas sweaters. Though they are the most peculiar-looking or frankly saying “ugly” sweaters, Christmas gives you a reason to adorn those bizarre sweaters with pride. It’s only Christmas that will allow you to ditch all your style statements and fall in love with the awful looking Christmas sweaters.
Gifts
No one will be satisfied with Christmas without getting their Christmas presents. They are something that everyone waits for and loves about Christmas. Wrapping Christmas presents with our family and piling them around the tree is a once in a year experience that you only get around Christmas. You cannot simply avoid Christmas gifts from Christmas and make it a memorable event. You need to bring presents and give them to your loved ones.
Stockings
Just like Santa, stockings are also the exciting part of Christmas. Hanging stockings on Christmas eve and waiting for Santa to fill it with presents is something that we all used to love to do as a kid. With passing time, we realized it’s the Santa in our lives who filled those stockings every year. You must follow the tradition the way it should be. Buy colorful and embellished stocking or make some on your own and hang it around, who knows your Santa might be preparing for a big gift?
It’s All About Making It Special
Though there are plenty of festivals that give us an opportunity to celebrate and get together. There’s no such festival as Christmas that brings joy and togetherness to your life. No matter where you are in this world, around this time of year, everyone yearns to come closer to their friends and family to rekindle the memories of Christmas. There are plenty of ways through which you can make your Christmas special for you and your family.
The above mentioned were some of the best things about Christmas that make this festival worth the celebration. There’s nothing much special about Christmas if we stop making it special the way we do every year. Don’t just sit at home and be grateful for a holiday, step out, give your contribution to the preparation and make Christmas the best time of the year.
