My December Bucket List

December is and has always been one of my favorite months of the year. Between the Christmas and New Year’s holidays and all the jolly that surrounds each one of them, December brings a month of cheer, joy, and happiness, a time to reflect on the past year and plan for the future, and extra vacation days which allow for extended time off work to relax and be home with family. For most people, myself included, the month of December is filled with holiday inspirations left and right; packed with 31 days of Christmas movies, tasty holiday treats, festive home decor, and bright lights everywhere you look, it’s hard not to be swept up in the magical, whimsical beauty of the holiday season.

With less than two weeks to go until Christmas (can you even believe it?), I’ve been occupying my time by decorating the house, finalizing the last remaining purchases on my holiday shopping lists, and contemplating which of the many Christmas activities I’m going to indulge in between now and the end of the year. 2020 has been a wild year for all, and pandemic Christmas and New Year’s will no doubt look a little more lonely from years past, but I’m looking forward to enjoying the quiet days ahead one cheerful activity at a time. ‘Tis the damn season after all, friends!

To kick off the final countdown to Christmas, I crafted a list of 12 festive activities I thought would be fun to partake in this December. There’s a lot I’m looking forward to cramming into these next two weeks and with so much to do and so little time, I better get going! It’s the most wonderful time of the year for a reason, so grab a cup of hot cocoa, cozy up in your favorite blanket, and get ready to make the most of what’s left of 2020. May the activities on my December bucket list elevate and inspire your creativity and help bring out the best of your own festive self. Cheers to the holidays!

What’s on your December bucket list this year?

Enjoy!
