Just had to share these photos with you guys! If you didn’t know I have a 1ish-year-old fur baby named Quinn. (named after One Tree Hill) She’s the love of my life, seriously. She actually is obsessed with me but these photos don’t really portray that… Last year I took Christmas card photos with her, and it was such a hit so I decided to do it again this year!
The day after Christmas is always kind of a sad day, wouldn’t you agree? It’s like all of the festiveness kind of just got sucked away when the clock turned midnight Christmas night. I always wake up feeling super bummed out, and never really know what to do with myself.
I decided this year I really want to continue the holiday season and do something fun! So, of course, I had to share my ideas with you babes.
1. Go to the movies.
2. Take advantage of all the sales. Seriously there are some awesome ones going on!
3. Continue holiday baking. You’re gonna miss all those sweets next week
4. Get ahead of work (or blogging)
5. Clean out your closet. This might not be fun for everyone, but it’s a nice refresher for the New Year.
6. Stock up on holiday flavored food. Then it will really be Christmas year round.
7. Go ice skating. They’re gonna start closing down all the icerinks soon!
8. Have a Christmas movie marathon in your PJ’s. Probably what I will be doing today!
9. Make a list of gift ideas for next year. Every Christmas I get so many ideas for presents while watching other people open gifts! I always think “I need to remember this for next year” but never actually do. Write it down!
10. Start coming up with all your New Year’s resolutions.
11. Listen to Christmas music and drive around looking at lights one last time.
12. Send out thank you cards for all the relatives that were out of town.
13. Have a relaxed holiday party. The parties don’t have to stop! Invite a few friends over and watch Home Alone and eat all of your leftovers.
14. Walk around the mall, or shopping area. I always love to see what stores have left after the holidays!
15. Find a recipe that incorporates your leftovers.
Do you have any fun traditions to do the day after Christmas?
Great ideas! My BF and I went on a brewery tour 🙂 In Canada the day after Christmas is Boxing Day and it’s a holiday where everyone goes out and takes advantage of sales, much like Black Friday! It’s always a fun tradition 🙂
I got caught up on cleaning on the day after Christmas and it felt amazing! I’m hoping to get ahead on blogging now since that’s behind me!
So many good ideas! Loving your outfit too.
These are so lovely! I think I may go ice skating now! We already finished all our leftovers haha

Haha I’ll definitely be taking advantage of all the sales and cleaning out my closet to make room for it all! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas 🙂
Aw these are so fun, Jamie! We’ve been sitting around eating leftovers over here and I’ve been taking little peeks at the sales. Can’t wait to get my New Years Resolutions sorted out and use the gift cards I got in my stocking to buy some new fun things! 🙂 Hope your holiday was great!
I love cleaning out my closet after Christmas! I always feel great heading into the new year like that!

I’ve never had time for a relaxing/non-busy/work-filled day after Christmas lol! If I ever do in the future I’ll have to refer to these ideas! 🙂
These are such great tips! We’re all getting stir crazy at home, definitely planning a family movie day this week!

After Christmas I always eat a ton of the leftovers + Christmas goodies, and I also just take some time to unwind!

I certainly did ~’s 4 and 5 today!!! Although I wasn’t getting ahead of work I was catching up. Ha. Merry Christmas.
These are all great suggestions! I might be doing one or two, or more today!
I hope you had a lovely, Merry Christmas! These are great ideas to avoid the post-Christmas letdown too.
I love the idea of coming up with a recipe for the leftovers!!
Great ideas!!! I hope you had a great Christmas!
I would love to go ice skating! Unfortunately, just studying for my GMAT and working on my winter ECON class for me!
