TAKE UP AN OLD-SCHOOL HOBBY.
Ditch the screens and pick up a hands-on,
old-school hobby. Stringing beaded bracelets,
knitting a scarf, embroidering a design,
canning vegetables, making mosaics, and
penning calligraphy will keep your hands busy
and your mind at ease.
BUILD BIRD FEEDERS.
If you live in a warmer climate, there will be an
influx of birds to scout during winter. However,
plenty stick around colder areas—and bare
branches make them easier to spot. Coat a
pinecone with peanut butter, roll it in birdseed,
hang it outside a window, and watch your
feathered friends stop by for a tasty treat.
MAKE HANDMADE HOLIDAY CARDS.
Display your inner artist and show you care
by making handmade holiday cards. Draw
characters, paint landscapes, use stickers and
glitter, and write a note from the heart. Send
your greetings to loved ones, nursing home
residents, service members, or local hospital
patients; it's sure to make them feel special.
ARRANGE FLORALS.
Despite the dropping temperatures,
countless florals flourish in the winter.
Arrange a bouquet with seasonal
stems, such as roses, lilies, carnations,
daises, and chrysanthemums, to add
color and life to your home.
