A Groundbreaking Proposal for the Day After Thanksgiving: Not Shopping

You think I’m crazy, don’t you?! (Especially being a fashion blogger)

However, here is a list of things you can do rather than shopping.

  1. Bake some pumpkin muffins and invite your friends/family over for a brunch!

  1. Pull out your favorite Holiday movie and snuggle up with some hot chocolate! (It’s after Thanksgiving now, it is totally okay to start indulging in holiday events!)
  2. Escape the crazy crowds and attend one of the many craft shows going on in Maine!

  2. Make your own DIY holiday craft like this easy Jewelry Storage Frame!

  1. Light up your evening by attending the Festival of Lights Celebration in Rockland, Maine or Waterville!
  2. Take the kids and bring them to the annual Polar Express Train ride!

  1. Pinterest! You do it anyways, so why not relax yourself from a busy holiday with pinning future decorations for the holidays! You have my full permission to start decorating Dec. 1st!
