50 Ways to get in the Christmas Spirit in College
Who doesn’t love Christmas?!? Although, it’s kind of hard to get in the spirit when you are stuck at college with hopes of just getting home for the holidays. So, I have compiled a list of FIFTY WAYS to get in the Christmas Spirit!
- Put up a little tree including twinkly lights
- My roommates and I hung stockings last year
- Lots of twinkly lights
- If able, make Christmas cookies
- Or just buy them
- Hot cocoa
- Add some candy canes in it
- Make chocolate spoons with candy canes
- Christmas Music, LOTS OF CHRISTMAS MUSIC
- ABC Family 25 days of Christmas (I get their text message updates)
- Start Christmas Shopping
- Wrap the Christmas Presents bought
- Low on money, DIY some cute presents
- Write a letter to Santa!
- Go visit some Christmas lights/ decorations, maybe take a walk downtown

Hi Marina I saw that you visited my blog so I’m returning the favor and checking out yours! It’s super cute! I really like this post and am definitely going to be doing a lot of these things. You asked for feedback, and being a newer blogger I would definitely just recommend consistency in your posting schedule (I still struggle with this, haha!). Also, content that is helpful to readers (like this post!) typically performs really well — especially if you’re promoting it on Pinterest! Best of luck, and feel free to email me (there’s a form on my site under contact) if you have any specific questions or anything!
