So I'm sure I wont be alone when I say, Christmas can be a tough time for many of us.
Personally I have a full month to fill (university doesn't start back until the 18th of Jan) and I am still battling with my mental health struggles.
Hence I was hoping for some advice (which could also be helpful to others) on how to fill my time.
I felt this topic was appropriate, any practical ideas of things to do to stay busy would be much appreciated!!

Going for walks, I love Christmas time walks, it's so peaceful and quiet.
Volunteering, it's not to late to do some Christmas volunteering.
https://do-it.org/ << May have some Christmas volunteering opportunities.
Posting on the boards, starting some fun threads.
Random acts of kindness over Christmas time.
" So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing, thanks for all the joy they're bringing, who can live without it, I ask in all honestly what would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me "
'' It's a beautiful day and I can't stop myself from smiling "
Would love to volunteer, but can't commit at the moment due to uni! Plus I'm a bit restricted as I broke my foot so don't want to overdo things.
I'd love to do something crafty or arty, but I just don't know what!
Definitely will pop in on the boards over Christmas and help if I can
If you're potentially interested in Knitting there is a website called ravelry.com with loads of patterns and forums on - plus youtube has great videos to help you learn! I find knitting to be helpful in keeping my hands busy and passing time when that's what I'm in need of!
