25 things to do this Christmas

Here in Singapore, it doesn’t always look or feel like Christmas because it doesn’t snow or get too cold. Instead, we get lots of rain and unpredictable weather. There are definitely no white Christmases on this side of the world.

That said, nothing is going to stop me from counting down the days to Christmas and getting into the Christmas spirit!

This season is definitely one of my favorite times of the year. There is so much to love about this season – from the spirit of giving, to remembering that Jesus is the reason for the season.

It’s time to start embracing the magic, joy and wonder of Christmas.

Here’s a list of some of my favorite things to do around this time of the year:

1. Go to a local Christmas market.

2. Attend a Christmas service.

3. Bake Christmas cookies.

4. Share said Christmas cookies with neighbors.
