Celebrate Christmas at your apartment
Christmas is just around the corner. Celebrating Christmas at your apartment can present some really unique ways to go about bringing in merry colours of Christmas into your home and life. Although you may not be living with your family or are away, you can celebrate a grand Christmas at your apartment.
Make it a point to wish your friends and family. Send Christmas greetings to your friends and family members wishing then merry Christmas and happy new year. Be aware of the reasons of celebrating Christmas and let the younger ones know about its significance. Attend the church on Christmas Eve.
Decorate your apartment
Decorate your apartment in the spirit of Christmas. Set up a Christmas tree and decorate it with baubles, ribbons, balls, lights and other ornaments. You can hang a mistletoe in doorway and place a wreath of garland or display teddies and dolls in your rooms to bring in the festive vibe into your home. You can set up a small crib depicting Nativity scene at your flat and showcase it at a place where everyone can see it.
Place lights outside your apartment and on the balcony to light up the fresh spirit of Christmas. Hang a Christmas star with colourful lights and the festive spirit will find its way into your apartment. Invite your neighbours to share the moments of joy with you. Make it a point to ask for permission beforehand if you want to use any common area of the apartment for celebration purposes.
Gifts and songs
Buy gifts for family and friends and place them under the Christmas tree. Get your favourite toys for your kids. Play popular Christmas tracks like “Silent night, holy night” to soak in the holiday spirit. To make the bond of solidarity among your friends and family members stronger, you can organise a nice sing-along by singing together “Holly Jolly Christmas” or “Silver Bells”.
Christmas dinner
Christmas is all about gathering and sharing. Prepare a grand dinner for your family and friends. The menu should be according to your family’s and friends’ choice. Add a nice dessert or cake or pie to sweeten up the Christmas spirit.
Christmas charity
Christmas is about spreading warmth and love. Visit an orphanage and distribute clothes or sweets among the kids. You can also pay a visit to an old age home and share stories with the people in the autumn of their lives. You can volunteer at a homeless shelter to help out the less privileged people.
Bask in the glory of the Christmas traditions being passed down to your family through the generations. Christmas does not have to be about commercialized behaviour echoed in all the TV commercials crying out “Buy this or that this Christmas”. Spend a quality time with your family spreading cheers of the festival.
