The Best Ways To Celebrate Christmas In Singapore
Christmas is widely enjoyed across the world; it is when sparkly lights go up, Christmas jingles can be heard in every shopping mall, people eat turkey and ham, and everyone is just in a jolly good mood.
And while we do not have winter here in Singapore, here are The Best Ways To Celebrate Christmas In Singapore!
#1 MAKE YOUR OWN CHRISTMAS JUMPER
In the spirit of Christmas, get creative with some Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects! Singapore might not be freezing cold, but you can still get creative by designing your own little Christmas jumper (or T-shirt for that matter).
Gather some family or friends and make your own specialised Christmas apparel.

#2 GET STOCKINGS AND FILL THEM
Get you and your family some stockings (or make them yourself; they are super easy!) and get everybody little gifts throughout the month of December.
They could be anything from travel-sized cosmetics to little bits of stationary, or even mini figurines for die-hard collectors. The trick is to fit everything into a little stocking!
#3 DECORATE YOUR HOUSE, PURELY WITH DIY ITEMS
Gather your family members and decorate the home—without buying any Chrismas décor. That’s right. Make your own bunting, and choose how you want to decorate your walls, be it with paper cut-outs or printed designs. How about a handmade tree, too?

#4 SHOP FOR CHRISTMAS TREES
Not into DIYs? Then you can go out with your loved ones in search for ready ones.
Not sure where to get real Christmas trees? Try heading to IKEA or party suppliers in Geylang.
#5 HAVE A CHRISTMAS-THEMED POTLUCK PARTY
Christmas is a time to get together with friends, so why not have a cute little potluck party? For a little challenge, try getting everybody to bring something Christmas-themed for the food party. Gingerbread cookies and turkey, anyone?

#6 TAKE A JOYRIDE DOWN ORCHARD ROAD
The light-up along Orchard Road is almost considered a tradition. Different designs are put up every year, each more impressive than the one before. Hop into a car with some of your loved ones, drive down Singapore’s greatest shopping street,and take in the sights and sounds.
#7 STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE WITH OLD CHRISTMAS PICTURES
When you are done with your yearly Christmas dinner, take out old photos from past Christmases so you and your family can reminisce the good old times, and see how far everybody has come and grown.
#8 GO PRESENT-SHOPPING
Spend an entire day going Christmas shopping for family and friends. It is, after all, the season of giving, and there is just something about shopping for others that is both therapeutic and exciting.
#9 GET CREATIVE WITH SECRET SANTA ACTIVITIES
What is Christmas without a game of Secret Santa? Instead of restricting this to an office activity, why not rope in a group of friends for this activity too? It will be fun to see how well you guys know each other when it comes to buying what you think they might like.
#10 PLAN ACTIVITIES FOR ALL 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS
Why celebrate one day of Christmas, when you can celebrate all 12? Throughout the weeks, gift your family and friends little presents, or plan fun activities throughout these days to get everybody excited for the actual Christmas day.
You can even hide small treats and gifts around the house and make your family members look for theirs on the days leading up to Christmas.
#11 TREAT YOURSELF TO AN ADVENT CALENDAR
Riding on the 12 days of Christmas concept, go out and get yourself some advent calendars! They are little pre-packaged gifts that you can open every day until the 25th and many brands do them! You can find toys, cosmetics, skincare brands and loads more with little treasures. It gets you a whole lot more excited for Christmas day!
#12 VOLUNTEER WITH A SHELTER OR CONTRIBUTE TO CHARITY
Alas, Christmas is all about giving. Try giving back to the society this year. Look for charities or places to volunteer and do a little good for the world. It will make you feel a lot better about yourself too.
