What Should You Do Before Christmas?

It could be a book, it could be a painting, it could be a song... Just make something with your own hands and imagination. Even if your entire year was a disaster and you acted like a loser most of the time, you'll still be able to finish 2015 feeling accomplished. And if you're already an artist, you'll have something to add to your portfolio.

This is the best time to travel. It will be so crowded once the Holidays come, that you'll be sure to get cheaper fares now. It could be some place you already know and visit sometimes or, if you're feeling a bit adventurous, it could be a new country or a new scenery at least. Pack up!

On Christmas, you're probably going to meet that cousin who can't stop talking about this show you need to watch, or that friend that spent the entire year commanding you to check on this amazing film he's sure you'll love. Why not trust these people for once and reserve some of your nights for a relaxing Netflix binge-watching?

Every year, you spend more than you should on the Holidays and are seriously in debt once the next year begins. Take a Sunday afternoon, which is already the dullest time of the week anyway, and do the math. See how much you've got, how much you'll going to get and what you really need to buy. Next January will be your best in years!

Okay, maybe you haven't read any book in a very long time, let alone one that's out of your comfort zone. But give it a try. You're always reading classics? Try a 21st century young author. You usually tend towards detective stories? Maybe read a memoir this time. Check Goodreads' website and pick a high-rated story that you've never thought of reading before. 2015 could still hold a few changes!

Christmas is a lonely time for those who are in need. If you've got some time to spare, you could volunteer to work in a charity event or, if you're too busy this year, maybe just clean up your house and find things to donate. Inequality is the world's worst problem and everybody deserves to be happy.

If you're already an active person, just look for something you haven't tried yet. If you're a sedentary, get a move on! There's a number of activities you could engage in. Sports, hiking, dance, yoga, pilates, swimming or just good old gym, any type of exercise you choose will bring you excellent results.

What about this year, instead of promising to clean your life up on the first of January and never fullfill that promise, you do that now, before the Holidays? Maybe what you need to get rid off is a bunch of stuff you have around the house and never use. Maybe it's a dead relationship you keep avoiding to break. Maybe it's that lousy job that makes you miserable. You still have time to end 2015 in good spirits and feeling refreshed!
