Christmas in New England

It's finally Christmas, and however hectic the month leading up to it had been it must be put in the past, so we can enjoy the holiday! The best things about the holidays are, playing in the snow, eating candy canes, drinking hot cocoa, listening to Christmas music, shopping (even though it's crazy), baking cookies, going to parties, opening presents, decorating the tree, and spending time with the whole family. However, Christmas can be crazy, so here are some holiday tips.
Dressing for Holiday Cheer
- You have to find the perfect mix of classy, and stylish, festive, and of course warm too.
-Dress in layers, so that if it's cold outside, and hot at your party, you can still be comfortable.
-You what to look cheerful, but don't go overboard. Try to get a fancy blouse, or a dress in crimson, black, gold, or silver, great holiday colors.
-For a great touch add a sparkly winter touch such as a snowflake necklace of cute snowmen earrings.
-Whatever you do, please don't give into the horrible Christmas sweater, that your aunt gave you last year!
Shopping Without Losing Your Money and Sanity
-It's kinda of late for this, but try to get your shopping done early on,so that you can avoid the horrible last minuet rush.
-If it's too late for that, try to skip the big malls like the Natick Collection, and find a smaller department store.
-Before you go shopping, make a list of who you want to buy for, and keep it was short as possible, that why you won't forget anyone, or go broke.
-If your shopping for quick gifts for your parents, aunts, and uncles, you should go to a store like Kohl's because they have great holiday sales and they have everything. I suggest, scarves, hats, gloves, 365 day calendars, jewelry, bath sets, and sports shirts.
-If your shopping for far away cousins, just pick up some gift cards, they work for anyone.
-If your shopping for friends, I suggest the Paper Store, after all they do have Vera Bradley!

Hope that my tips helped! If you have any remember to post them under comments for this post!
