√ Go to museums with friends and/or family! I'm personally excited to go to the Nature museum that has dinosaur exhibitions and thousands of minerals and rocks on display. Going to museums reminds me of being a kid.
√ Put on new or old Hannah Barbara cartoons, like the Jetsons or the Powerpuff Girls. Then commence knitting and/or crocheting and tea consumption.
√ Listen to: Diana Ross and the Supremes, Scott Walker, Jens Lekman, Sigur Ros, and Curtis Mayfield- music that sounds cheery and has a holiday mood, but doesn't mention "mommy kissing santa clause" at all, thank god. Here's my Christmas mix from last year if you're in the mood for actual Xmas songs.
√ Christmas garlands
√ Make your own perfume or mixed teas using loose leaf blends and muslin.
√ Have a horchata party! Horchata is a South American libation that is made of rice, vanilla, and cinnamon that is a great alternative for eggnogg h8ers. When I hear the line in the Vampire Weekend song "In December drinking horchata..." it really makes me want to make and drink horchata in December. Here's a recipe!
√ While you're having your Horchata party, why not make flower crowns as well?!
√ Holiday baking! I want to make these quasi Rice Krispie squares that are made up of Fruit Loops and COCONUT RUM! So festive!
