Do you remember Home Alone 2? Of course you do. But have you watched it every single day between Christmas and New Year? That’s a power move. Rewatch the same three movies until your brain is soft and fuzzy. It’s a form of meditation.
Or, go backwards. Watch movies you hated as a kid. The cheese might taste different now. A bad movie seen in this limbo state becomes a hilarious inside joke with yourself.
FUN THINGS TO DO BETWEEN CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR! 🥳 | PH Edver Joy Omnes
Write a letter to your past self. Not a deep, emotional one. A silly one. “Dear Past Me: Don’t buy that sweater. The cat hated it.” Seal it. Throw it away. The act is cathartic. It’s a little time-warping ritual.
The “No-Plan” Plan
Did you know that historically, this period was called “Daft Days”? People dressed up, switched roles, and acted the fool. It was a licensed social break. You get to be a fool now, too.
Call a friend for no reason. Not to schedule a coffee. Just to say, “Hey, I’m eating a cold pig in a blanket. What color are your socks?” That is a Twixmas conversation. It’s pure chaos bonding.
Fold a thousand paper cranes. No, that’s dumb. Fold three paper cranes. Then give them names. Let them fight. It’s a tiny, improvised theater in your living room. No one is watching.
