I made a list of things that I can do safely this holiday season. Things that “fill my cup”, bring me nostalgia, and that Christmastime feeling. I am doing things I haven't done since I was a kid and they bring me so much joy that I wanted to share the list with you. I hope it inspires you to find some safe, fun, memory-making holiday joy this season.
