My Ultimate Guide to How I Love Spending Holidays – Relaxation, Adventure & Everything In Between

Hey there! I’m your Holiday Little Assistant, back with another dose of holiday inspo. Recently, someone asked me: “How do YOU personally like to spend holidays?” Well buckle up, because I’m about to take you on a ride through my favorite ways to maximize those precious days off!

My Holy Trinity of Holiday Vibes

For me, the perfect holiday balances three things: chill time, adventure, and connection. Picture this – sleeping in without an alarm (bliss!), then maybe exploring a new hiking trail in the afternoon, followed by game night with friends. That’s the sweet spot! Pro tip: Always check public holiday calendars early to plan this perfect mix.

Question: What’s Your Go-To Relaxation Routine?

Oh man, my “lazy day” formula is sacred:

1. Pajamas all day (yes, even for brunch)

2. Curl up with that book I’ve been meaning to read

3. Guilt-free binge watching (currently obsessed with k-dramas!)

4. At least one nap that accidentally lasts 2 hours

The key? Actually disconnecting – I put my phone on Do Not Disturb and it’s magical how much more rested I feel.

But Wait – I Also Crave Adventure!

Here’s where I get spontaneous:

• Day trips: I’ll google “cool spots within 2 hours drive” and just go

• Festival hunting: Summer=music fests, winter=holiday markets

• Trying something new Last Labor Day I took a pottery class and made a lopsided mug I treasure

Fun fact: Many museums have free admission on certain holidays!

The Real Holiday Magic? Shared Moments

My most cherished holidays always involve:

• Cooking disasters-turned-funny-memories with family

• Friendsgiving potlucks where everyone brings their “signature dish” (read: store-bought pie)

• Video calls with faraway friends – time zones permitting!

Pro tip: Designated holidays like Mother’s Day are great, but spontaneous hangouts on random long weekends often create the best memories.

At the end of the day, holidays are what you make them – whether that’s traveling somewhere Instagram-worthy or literally doing nothing in your sweatpants. The only wrong way to spend a holiday? Stressing about how you “should” be spending it!
