There may certainly be a bitter chill
in the air, and the leaves may well have fallen from the trees around
us, but that isn’t to say that the darkness of winter has set in
quite just yet. There are still plenty of lovely, happy things about
the cooler months, so there’s no need to panic!
Halloween is literally looming right
around the corner, and if you haven’t got your pumpkin sorted just
yet, now might be the right time! The kids – and you – will need
to think of a costume as well, and there are absolutely loads of
ideas out there. If the idea of scary witches and ghouls are going to
bring on nightmares for months, you can avoid this by choosing
princess, prince or warrior costumes instead. Don’t forget to buy
some sweeties, too, to brighten up the nights of the freezing cold
trick or treaters as well.
There’s nothing prettier – or
brighter – than some fireworks on Guy Faulkes night. Not only is it
an excuse to dress up in your winter warmest, it’s a perfect excuse
to teach your kids about the dangers
surrounding fire safety. Bonfire Night is a British tradition,
and it’s a really nice night out for everyone. Get your sparklers
at the ready and the stuff in to make some lovely hot chocolates
afterwards. Just make sure any pets and safe and sound before you go
out!
Of course, your home might start to
feel a little drabber in the winter, too. Sadly, with less hours of
sunlight, there’s a lot less light seeping through the windows,
creating a rather more depressing effect. Why not treat yourself to
some lovely flowers
available by post to your door from Floric? They have some really
charming colours available and hopefully, they’ll be able to make
you smile. The darkness is often what causes so many people to be
unhappy over the shorter days, and since flowers remind many of us of
bright, sunny days, you can recreate a summery image.
It might not seem
like the right time of year for a spring clean just yet, but it
really helps, trust me. Just getting those shorts and T shirts out of
your eye line where there won’t depress you will work absolute
wonders for your happiness! Car boot sales are also a good plan,
especially if you want to make a little spare cash to sort out your
winter wardrobe. Unfortunately, according
to this article by Everyday Loans, so many of us will be
rationing our heat bills this winter and so it never hurts to have
something saved for our family for a rainy day.
Wrap up warm and remember –
spring will be here before you know it!
