Go Ice Skating
This might sound like a silly suggestion, but I promise its not. Sure, you might look silly, but youll feel happy. Going ice-skating is a date kind of thing. Its a date kind of thing because its innately romantic. The two of you bundled up, hand in hand and arm in arm? Takes you back, doesnt it? Its also a great example of getting out there and making plans and having adventures however small.
Start Your Own Tradition
Whether its watching a movie or making a special meal together its nice to find your own holiday traditions. Navigating the choppy waters of family holidays can get tricky once you are married, so its important to establish a few things for yourselves before you get pulled in all sorts of family directions. Its a lot like your wedding day actually, you have to remember to take a little bit of it for yourselves.
Make an Advent Calendar
If you celebrate Christmas, make your own custom, interactive advent calendar. I realize its ambitious and its already a week into December, but its never too late to make each day count. Find yourself an advent calendar with fillable boxes and get to work writing messages. Advent calendars are probably mostly for kids, but why not make a thing of it in the morning? One of you opens the little box and finds a love note or a smiley face or a piece of candy? Sounds like a good way to start off the morning. Plus you can both get involved. Think of it as a mailbox where you can both drop off gifts and messages. Presents before the presents? Sign me up.
