Things To Do While Cosy At Home In The Upcoming Northern Winter
by Northern Life
As the popular Game of Thrones character Jon Snow said, “winter is coming”. Cold months are approaching us as the blistering summer heat begins to die down, and I, for one, am looking forward to bringing out my winter clothes and snuggling up in bed.
While winter might be so harsh in some countries that they require additional help, the below list aims to give everyone ideas on how to make the coming months more joyous. While most of us enjoy snuggling up in bed and watching a movie, there’s more to do then just that!
Warm The Soul With Baked Goods
Imagine this: it’s a rainy day, you’re wearing your comfiest pyjamas, and having a nice cup of coffee. But, something’s missing; some cookies to enjoy with your hot drink. Take the opportunity to search up some easy cookie recipes and fill your house with the delicious scent of freshly baked cookies!
Nothing beats the smell of cookies on a cold, rainy day. So, whether you live by yourself, with family, or friends, it will surely be a hit!
Celebrate With Your Favourite People
Whether you’re celebrating a festival holiday, someone’s birthday, or just want an excuse to have people over, hosting a dinner party is always a great idea. You can even opt to make something simple, like mac and cheese which is always a hit! Not only will you be able to show off your amazing cooking skills, but you will have a beautiful and intimate moment with the most special people in your life.
Sure, some people’s ideal night might include watching a Tottenham game, however, a night with good food, some wine, and board games is definitely a wonderful way to spend the evening away from the outside weather.
Channel Your Inner Child And Create
Arts and crafts aren’t just for children, but your inner child is surely your biggest source for inspiration. Whether you want to carve scary faces into pumpkins, make little snowmen from old socks, or paint a portrait, it’s entirely up to you!
Whatever you decide to create doesn’t have to be perfect, as long as you enjoy doing it then that’s what matters. If you want to mix it up a bit, invite your friends over and have a competition on who can create the most creative and abstract work of art.
Look up some artists and their sketchbooks to get inspired!
Knit Yourself A New Wardrobe
Winter calls for thick and warm clothes, so why not learn how to knit and create a few sweaters for yourself? You can even knit sweaters for the rest of your family and friends, that way you would have your Christmas presents sorted and it would be a more sentimental gift since you would have created it.
Experiment with different colours and patterns and see what you can come up with!
Binge Watch Your Favourite Show
I know I said there’s more to do then staying in bed all day, but who doesn’t love snuggling up under the blankets and watching an episode or two of their favourite show? Put on your comfiest socks, order takeaway, and relax as you immerse yourself into the storyline.
Gamble To Your Heart’s Content
If you’re looking for something more out of the box to do, then gambling is certainly an activity you can try out. There are various reliable and secure online casinos that have hundreds of games you play, guaranteeing you will be occupied for hours on end!
Spend a cold Saturday evening gambling and trying out new games, and who knows, maybe you’ll even hit the jackpot!
Make sure to keep these points in mind when gambling:
- Make sure to set a budget and time limit so you don’t spend an excessive amount of time and money on gambling.
- Keep an eye out on any bonuses or promotions you might be eligible for.
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Other than that, enjoy your experience at online casinos!
Final Thoughts
If you’re not a fan of the winter season, then these activities will make these upcoming months seem less dreadful, and if you’re a fan of winter, then these activities will surely make these months even more enjoyable!
Make sure to light a lovely scented candle to add to the mood and don’t forget your cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate to make the day even sweeter!
