Hi my lovely readers!
The Christmas season has finally and officially started, well at least according to us Germans. I am so excited and all pumped up with lots of positive energy.
Every year on Monday after Sunday of the Dead, which is the Sunday before the First Advent, I get all excited as I can get all my Christmas decorations out and fully emerge myself in the festive period and all those traditions that I love, baking Christmas cookies such as Heidesand Christmas Cookies and Chocolate-Kipferl and of course drinking my beloved mulled wine.
That day was yesterday 23rd November for the year 2020 and this year we need to stay positive and cheerful even more. I am a positive person by nature and I am determined to make the most of my favourite time of the year this year, even with Covid restrictions in place and not being able to spend time with my family.
Here are 40 winter and Christmas related ideas that might lift your spirits, make you feel good and contribute to some self-care and well-being.
Stay strong and positive and do not let Covid ruin this beautiful and magical time of year!
