Can we all just agree that holidays (or vacations) are brilliant? Let’s face it, if we weren't happy on holiday, we wouldn’t keep taking them, would we? There’s something about a break away from the every day that guarantees to raise our spirits. Whether we’re off to relax, experience new cultures, try new experiences, spend quality time with loved ones, have some fun, tick-off somewhere on our bucket list - holidays rate highly on our happiness meter. So whether you simply want to take your holiday happy vibes to the next level or are looking for ways to increase the chance of a disposition even sunnier than the weather… Here are my top tips for a happier holiday

Champagne Flutes (this is my parent's tree from a few year's ago)I know most of you aren't decorating for the holidays until after Thanksgiving, which I totally get! As a blogger, I love to use the decor as a backdrop for my photos, so I always need to get an earlier start than most. I think decorating for the holidays is SO much fun and the decor brings me joy and happiness. This year we are decorating even earlier than last year and we have decided to make a 'date night' out of it so I thought I would share in case it inspires you! Typically, at my parent's house, we decorate the tree the Sunday after Thanksgiving (usually during the Steeler game) and we have always done it as a family in one day. I have always loved this tradition. Last year, in our house (our first Christmas in our house together), we put up our tree and started decorating it throughout the week. A little here, a little there. We hadn't yet gotten our 'sentimental' ornaments from either sides of our families and we didn't have much Christmas decor, either, so decorating was kind of on and off for several weeks. It was fun, don't get me wrong, but it didn't really feel like an 'event' if that makes sense. So this year now that we have all of our decor, we are planning on getting our favorite takeout, opening a really good bottle of wine, blasting Christmas music, and going to set up and decorate the tree in one night together (read more about our Christmas tree, here). I know sometimes decorating for the holidays can seem like a chore or just another thing to knock off your to-do list, but we wanted to make it an activity this year where we really focused on the small joys. Hopefully, this will end up being a tradition for many years to come! We collect ornaments based on travels and life moments, so it will be fun to pull each one out and give it the attention it deserves and reflect on the memories that each ornament holds. Another example that we plan on doing later in November/early December is to have a night where we wrap presents. I actually love to wrap gifts, I find it very calming and creative and I always feel so satisfied once I see the finished product of all the gifts beautifully wrapped. But we usually wrap some here and there and don't make a 'night' out of it. So that's another fun thing we have to look forward to. The Family Christmas Book Other ideas are an afternoon of baking cookies and other great treats. You could do a holiday movie marathon. A fun night of cooking up some delicious traditional family recipes that you haven't made in a while. Eventually, once others have decorated their outdoors for the holidays, you could drive around to look at the lights or even go somewhere like Oglebay that has really cute drive-through light displays! You could do a holiday cocktail tasting where you create a bunch of 'mini' cocktails (kind of like a wine or beer flight) all with different recipes and you can rate which you like best and possibly find a new cocktail to love. Another fun idea is to get one of these Christmas books which acts as a journal throughout the years! I just got it and I love it SO much. It would also make a great gift. It would be a fun night to reflect on your holiday season together and write down your memories and choose photos to print for the book. I am going to retroactively fill this out for last year and then continue to fill it out year after year!

Holiday movies are seriously one of my favorite things to watch. It might have to do with the fact that they are seasonal so it’s not like I turn them on all year long. It’s kind of like hot cocoa or eggnog. I get super excited when the season starts just for all the vibes. So this year to help me keep my movie watching game on point I decided to make a list of the top 30 holiday movies […]
Meine liebste Zeit im Jahr? Weihnachten. Genauer gesagt die Zeit ab Mitte November bis Ende Dezember. Das sind für mich die schönsten Wochen der Vorfreude und auch die Zeit in der normalerweise sehr viel Stress auf's Gemüt schlägt. Die vergangenen Jahre, als Angestellte, habe ich mir immer sehr fest vorgenommen diese Zeit zu geniessen. Und trotzdem habe ich es nie geschafft. Was dieses Jahr anders ist und ein paar persönliche Worte gibt es drüben auf dem Blog.
She lit another match. This time she was sitting under a lovely Christmas tree. It was much bigger and more beautifully decorated than the one she had seen when she peeped through the glass doors at the rich mercant's house this very Christmas. Thousands of lighted candles gleamed under it branches. and many colored pictures, such as she had seen in the shop windows, looked down at her. The little girl stretched out both her hands toward them_then out went the match. All the Christmas candles rose higher and higher, till she sw that they were only the twinkling stars. One of them fell and made a bright streak across the sky. From the Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen. Can view large: farm4.static.flickr.com/3125/3127169392_41f541ffb5_b.jpg
