I’m currently skyping Chris on the exact opposite end of the country while writing this post about all the cute holiday/winter dates we WOULD BE going on if we weren’t thousands of miles apart (insert crying emoji). This is my favorite time of year for a lot of reasons, but especially because of all the festive activities you can do to celebrate the season – I’m such a sucker for that kind of stuff. The 12 date ideas of Christmas:
1- Christmas Light Tour: put on PJ’s, stop by Starbucks for holiday drinks to-go, and drive through the best-lit neighborhoods in your town for a free show. My family used to do this when I was little, and years later it’s still one of my favorite traditions! 
2- Christmas Movie Marathon: Cozy up by the fire and watch back-to-back Christmas classics. My favorites: The Holiday, The Grinch, It’s a Wonderful Life, and Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer the original (I watch this one every year!). 
3- Make a Gingerbread House: Get creative together and decorate a gingerbread house with your favorite candy. (Sour patch watermelon and Reese’s peanut butter cup Gingerbread house?) 
4- Go Ice Skating: Chris and I did this in SLC a couple weeks ago and it was the cutest date! 
5- Go to the Christmas Tree Farm: If you’ve already put up your big tree this year, have him take you to the Christmas tree farm to find a cute little one to decorate for your room.
6- Get the full holiday shopping experience by going to the mall together and enjoying the Christmas atmosphere (decor, gift shopping, holiday treats, etc.).
7- Dinner + A Show: Get tickets to see the Nutcracker (or another holiday performance) and do dinner/drinks after. 
8- Go sledding.
9- Go wine tasting.
10- Holiday Baking: bake & decorate Christmas cookies – one of my favorites! 
11- Volunteer Together
12- Host a classy 1950’s Christmas cocktail party together: this is totally on my to-do list. These adorable vintage Christmas greeting cards/advertisements from Christmases past have me wanting to throw a party with festive recipes, mulled wine, and Frank Sinatra’s Christmas album playing!

I have the easiest Mulled wine recipe if you’d like it! Made it for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit.
Ohh I’d love it!! OLIVIARINK@GMAIL.COM
This is super random but there’s a store called Honey in our mall and every time I go in it I think wow that looks like something Olivia rink would wear! And then when you posted holiday dresses I figured why not comment and tell you about it! Check it out 🙂 http://www.shophoney.com
