Do you think it is too early to talk about Christmas? Not at all! Christmas is not just Christmas Eve and the following morning with gifts. Christmas is a spirit, it is our waiting for a miracle, and it is a fairy tale around us.

Many people are related the happiest memories of the holidays to their childhood. Sometimes you can hear an old Christmas song or you can see the pictures from your favorite fairy tales, and your imagination takes you into long-forgotten worlds, where you went to sleep in trembling anticipation of a Christmas miracle.

If you want to feel the same warm and miracle atmosphere of this fantastic time of the year you have to surround yourself this taste of Christmas.

Let's start with something sweet and simple as a sock for gifts. You can buy the socks and hung it on the wall or in the fireplace at the beginning of December. If you want your sock created a holy mood make it functional. Surprise your family with small presents every day, and you'll see how you get up in the morning with the expectation of a small miracle, and run to check your sock.

Another source of the jolly mood is the Christmas stories. If you feel that you have outgrown fairy tales it is not true. Tales is a unique literary genre, which is always multilayered.

There are enough hidden meanings in fairy tales for adults and for children, so they are relevant at all times. Make it a rule to read a brief history of the Christmas before going to bed and you'll see what a magic dream will accompany you during this month.

How about a delicious ginger cookies decorated with your hands? It can be not only a great gift for someone, but will also provide you with an unforgettable Sunday evening with your family when you will all be together to create your culinary masterpiece.

Bring into the house the smell of Christmas. Someone needed smell of oranges, someone smell of fir branches, someone will awaken holiday association with cinnamon. Well, that is not even necessary to buy a real spruce or pill tones of oranges, just to buy in the store Christmas flavors and put them somewhere at home. It would be enough.

Do not forget about the family Christmas photo shoot. This is an excellent opportunity to memorializing your family history and just fill the old family album with the new photographs. Even if your family is now only two people, it's a great idea to start a completely new family photo album. And you can start it on this Christmas!

What a pleasure can be obtained by watching the good old Christmas movies. Take your time, make a list of your favorite movies and find the evenings to review them with your family or friends with a cup of hot coca or popcorn.

When you riding a car, turn on the Christmas radio or simply inflate the Christmas music in your phone. Music makes our mood and the Christmas mood is not an exception!

Finally, it is very cool to decorate your home for Christmas with the whole family! Be sure to put the Christmas tree, buy a garland, hang a wreath on the door because while decorating your house, you will create Christmas mood not only for your family, but also donate it for your neighbors, the postman, and even just passers-by.

Christmas is a celebration of warmth and magic, so let's give it to each other all of December, there is no need to wait for Christmas Eve!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
