Leave your decorations up a little longerBe a little lazier by taking your Christmas decorations down a little later this year. There’s no official rule for this unless you want to stick to tradition, so leave them up for a little longer to stay in the festive mood.
Save those leftoversStock up on extra Christmas party snacks and leftover turkey. Use it in sandwiches, pies, curries or even extra parties!
Do some more shoppingRetailers usually don’t take down their Christmas decorations for some time and the streets will be packed with people looking for deals–it’ll feel like Christmas shopping all over again!
Don’t stop givingHave some leftover chocolates no one wanted? Were you gifted a few too many sugary sweets? Pack them up and give them to friends and neighbours for some humble post-Christmas gifting.
Keep those Christmas films onFor some people, Die Hard is as much a Christmas film as Gremlins. There are so many choices for Christmas films that you could have a film night with your friends and family every night leading up to the New Year and beyond if you wanted to.

I love this post. I hate it when the festive season draws to a close. It’s my favourite time.

I love keeping the festivities going until New Year’s Day. I don’t understand why so many people have taken their tree down already - it’s quite sad! x
ReplyDeleteI'm such a nightmare, I take everything down ASAP after christmas, I think its just because I live alone with my son, it's just depressing looking at it lol, plus I like a fresh start after Christmas :)

ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely post for those people (like me) who are always reluctant to say goodbye to the festive spirit! Eating lots of leftovers is definitely one of my fave ways to keep the festivities going! xx
