Pass Time Leading to Christmas

Are you looking so forward to Christmas that it's hard to focus on anything else? Passing time before your favorite holiday can be a chore. However, there are a few projects you can do and steps you can use to take your mind off it.

Making a Christmas Countdown

 * 1) Grab a sheet of coloured or blank paper. Write how many days until Christmas (or December 1st, if you're getting an advent calendar then).
 * 2) On each day, write a specific goal to achieve. They can be anything: just a project to keep your mind off Christmas.
 * 3) * Ex: Days 1-3: work on your back handspring on beam
 * 4) * Ex: Days 4-9: Reach level 20 on Angry Birds.
 * 5) * Remember to be creative! It's what you want to achieve not others.
 * 6) Every day, cross off the goals you've achieved. Not only will this pass time but also will help you with whatever your goal is!

Distracting Yourself

 * 1) If you're still in school, focus on your schoolwork and don't get sidetracked by Christmas.
 * 2) Try and join things that take up your time after school/work.
 * 3) Make some crafts just for the holidays. Your parents would love a very own home-made bauble or decoration. Go all out with glitter or the fake snow, whatever is enjoyable makes time fly.

Tips

 * If you have any younger siblings, maybe make up some festive games to pass time.

Warnings

 * Don't always talk about Christmas to come when its only October/early November; your friends/family will not be pleased, and when Christmas comes around you may even be sick of it!
