Get started early with some free festive fun!
Filed under: Christmas
Looking for festive fun on the cheap? There's nothing like getting into the Christmas spirit a bit early, but once you've forked out for your festive latte and paid a small fortune for a round of mulled wine, it can seem like an expensive way to spend December.
Luckily, there are lots of things that you can do to get yourself into the Christmas spirit, without having to spend a fortune.
You just have to be a little bit creative
- Carol Singing is the easiest the cheapest way to get yourself in the festive mood. Go to a service, sing along, eat a mince pie or too and I'll bet you sing all the way home.
- Watch the lights being turned on. Find out when your Christmas lights are being switched and pop along. Laugh at the celebrity they've roped in (or be impressed depending on how lucky you are) and enjoy a walk around window shopping in fake snow.
- Have a snowball fight! Yes, you do actually need snow for this, but you never know, we might be lucky. No snow? Throwing crunchy leaves at your friends also works, but not if it has been raining.
- Warm booze. Wine, rum, whisky. Find a recipe, warm it up, get drunk. You're never going to use that old bottle of rum for anything anyway. Throw some cloves and a cinnamon stick into your drink and you've got yourself a Christmas cocktail.
- Watch Christmas films! Yep, there's nothing like watching Muppet's Christmas Carol or Home Alone to get you in the Christmas spirit.
- Listen to Christmas songs. Makes doing the dishes more fun, honest.
- Put your decorations up. Really want to kick start that Christmas feeling? Then get some tinsel up! I wouldn't suggest doing this before the end of the month, but it's your tinsel and it's your house so if you feel like getting festive now, why not?!

Does anyone proof read these articles? Spelling mistakes might be picked up by a spell checker but errors in grammar are not. Try the human approach every once in a while!
