Holiday Blues?





I know over Christmas I get annoyed and bored sitting around all day with my family. If you have this problem too here are some tips.

1. One way I counteract annoyance at Christmas rituals is by wholeheartedly taking up the ones you enjoy. I make paper snow flakes, change my desktop background to a new Holiday picture everyday, make cookies, run around in the snow.

2. Make sure to take time for yourself. I personally do this by taking baths and reading.

3. Keep things normal. You can do this by visiting the same websites, listening to old podcasts that remind you of times you're not at home, or by trying to keep you schedule the same.

4. Be more busy then ever. Try out a new hobby. I personally am going for oragami and have been working on butterflies. Also I'm working out even more over break(both to combat the heaps of candy and the open time).

5. Have fun. Remember that the Holiday is to be enjoyed, so don't be boring or dwell on bad thoughts. Go ahead and turn your usual boring christmas into something a bit more interesting.
