25 Things to Cross off Your 2019 Winter Bucket List

December 4, 2019 2 min read 6 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I’ve actually MISSED the snow and I’m REALLY excited for winter this year!  There’s so much fun to be had in winter, even on the coldest of days.

So take advantage of the change in season, get your festive on, and create a list of amusing things to do. 

Here’s a few on my list to get you started. See how many you can check off!

  1. Visit a Christmas tree farm (take in all the aromas… maybe buy a wreath or tree? Psst, I’ve never had a real tree?. Thank goodness for this Winter Bucket Lists!
  2. Try a new holiday drink (any recommendations?)
  3. Learn to ice skate, snowboard or ski  
  4. Checkout Christmas lights & decorations
  5. Go on a sleigh ride (where I’ll find one idk but gosh danggit, I’m doing it)
  6. Make a gingerbread house (my first attempt since 3rd grade)
  7. Send a care package to soldiers
  8. Decorate my apartment
  9. Watch Christmas movies
  10. Send holiday cards out early
  11. Attend a holiday party 
  12. Blast Christmas music (oops…kind of started this one early ?)
  13. Build a snowman
  14. Have a snowball fight
  15. See the NYE ball drop at Times Square (even if it’s from your couch … #TV #notstandinginthecold)
  16. Take pictures in the snow
  17. Build a blanket fort
  18. Go to a Christmas market
  19. Wear matching family PJs or socks
  20. Donate clothes, toys, or books
  21. Go to a hockey game (let’s go Rangers ?)
  22. Try catching a snowflake on my tongue 
  23. Thank a firefighter, police officer or military personnel for their service 
  24. Host a board game night and make personal self-serve pizzas
  25. Learn about the holiday traditions of another culture
What are you most looking forward to doing this winter?

      I’m just as obsessed with winter as I am with fall!

      Canada is so beautiful in the winter, I can’t imagine not being able to see the snow now, lol.

      So glad you enjoyed the bucket list!

    I’ve never had a real Christmas tree either and I think this year will be my first one!

    Wow...It's been a while hasn't it? Let's see, where to begin?
•
Well, this time last year, something felt really at odds with my spirit. I realized I needed a break from  social media— more so a break from Anna Elle Liz.
•
Believe it or not, I don’t particularly like spending a heckuva lot of  time on social media. For me, I've found that I’m more drained rather than replenished my when get my scroll on (hmmmp…  maybe someday I'll write  a blog post on that — Navigating Social Media When You Don't Really Like Social Media).Throw in all the viewing, reading, watching & clicking  - and a recipe for a major timeout was brewing. 
•
Nuturing my personal and creative life, my growth made it clear that meeting the demands of Anna Elle Liz was something I could no longer do with the same excitement and vigor I once did.
 •
So, all this to say that Anna Elle Liz will be back (you know I can't miss out on Fall content) but at a slower and less scheduled pace. 
•
You must also know that I can't even think about a return without extending a super big thank you to all of the kind followers/supporters who've patiently waited with me,  during my hiatus. 
•
Cheers to you! Cheers to re-starting content again! And, cheer to reaching 3-years of Anna Elle Liz with y.o.u.

    We all know about the stars of Thanksgiving…the main characters, turkey and ham. But what about the supporting cast, the secondary stars of the show; the side dishes. I mean without the sides, can the main dishes even shine?
·
The stuffing, the creamy mashed potatoes, the corn on the cob, the green bean casserole, the mac ’n’ cheese, … yep, I can take this train to foreverville. For now, I present you with a definitive and completely non-subjective ranking of some of my favorite Thanksgiving side dishes!

If you could only eat one dish for Thanksgiving, what would it be?

    Name a more perfect fall photo 🍎

I love me some pumpkin, but apples are another great fall staple. And there's something about going apple picking with a basket and plaid scarf that feels like I'm fresh out of a New England town.

    It’s that time of year when our thoughts turn to Thanksgiving and the day that is set aside to feel thankful for what we have. 
·
But how can we turn gratitude into a daily habit instead of a once-a-year holiday obligation? 
·
By recognizing the abundance we already have…our family, our relationships, our material things that bring us comfort and our memories, dreams, and hopes.
·
Our lives can be enriched so much if we take the time to be thankful and see the good in all that we have.
