Many cities and towns in the early December start lighting the Christmas tree. It is a good chance to wear your warmest attire, drink hot chocolate with other people and listen to holiday songs around the tree waiting for the flip of the switch.
2. Get Your Pictures With Santa
Whether you have a child or you are still a child in your soul, why not? You can go to the closest shopping mall and get the picture with Santa Claus and his elves. Memorialize a moment in time with a special picture, which you can later give as a gift to your family or close friends.

There is always something special in gifts that you can make by yourself. The endless ideas you can always find online, among them can be: photo frame with pressed flowers, cookies in a jar, or bath bombs and homemade candles. There’s something very personal and meaningful about a gift that you took the time to make yourself.

8. Dress Up and Attend a Holiday Party
Parties during holidays are everywhere – in clubs, bars, cafes and even in shopping centers. Choose the one you like and go with your friends. Have fun and enjoy!

10. Start a New Tradition
New Year is a time to start something new, change bad habits and set up goals. It can be anything you desire, maybe a wish to come true or just start exercising regularly.
