7 Ways to Turn Your Apartment into a Warm Winter Wonderland
Christmas is only 3 weeks away! Feeling festive yet? No? We can help! With ol' St. Nick closing in, it's time to prepare your apartment accordingly. We have identified 7 ways for you to make those long, chilly nights a little more bearable.
Indoor Christmas Lights
Hanging up Christmas lights in a room from the roof or draped over pictures and shelves is an easy way to make your place feel cozier. With the days being shorter, the additional festive lighting will definitely create a warm, glowing atmosphere for you to melt into.
Digital Fireplace
I'm sure you've all seen the Yule Log TV channel or some variation of the Christmas fireplace online. Hearing the crackle of the roaring fire play on your TV or laptop while you cook, clean, or relax brings a certain calming feel to your apartment that you didn't know you were missing until you experience it.
Plus it's always oddly fun to wait to see the man or woman feed the fire every so often.
Candles
Nothing will ever beat the warming, soft glow of scented candles at Christmas time. If the visual aspect of Christmas in your apartment isn't enough to get you in the festive mood, lighting some winter scented candles ought to do the trick.

Lots of Blankets
Not only will draping all of your furniture and bedding in additional blankets keep you extra warm, but seeing blankets everywhere will help create the illusion that your apartment is extra cozy and comfortable.
Music
Even if you aren't a diehard Christmas music fan, having something festive playing quietly in the background will stimulate a whole other level of senses and definitely get you in the holiday mood.
And yes, it is acceptable to listen to Christmas music now that it's officially December.
Warm Slippers or Fuzzy Socks
Christmas and cozy clothing go hand in hand. Nothing awakens you from the relaxed Christmas feel quicker than walking around a freezing floor. Invest in a warm pair of slippers or socks and you'll never regret it.
Build a Private Nook
Pile up a bunch of blankets and pillows somewhere quiet and comfortable with dimmed lighting where you can binge watch Netflix, read a book, or take a nap. The privacy and security of your private nook provides an almost nostalgic Christmas feel.
Hopefully these few additions to your apartment or condo will help get you in the winter mindset and allow you to make the most of the magic that Christmas brings with it.
