I\u00a0remember back in the day when Christmas decorations and holiday music in stores didn't\u00a0start\u00a0until after Thanksgiving. Seems quaint nowadays, doesn't it?<\/p>\n
Even though the entire country is saturated with holiday commercialism, it\u00a0doesn't mean you can't find something unique to say on your blog\u00a0during this crazy season. Here are 22 ideas to get you thinking outside of the poorly-wrapped, well-intended Christmas gift box. Oh and don't forget, lists don't have<\/em> to be in increments of 10 or any other number. Mix it up!<\/p>\n From billowy dresses to stretchy pants, there are plenty of sartorial options that won't require opening a button after dessert.<\/p>\n Not everyone celebrates Christmas, but most people get together with family over the holidays. And there are plenty of\u00a0films that aren't about Christmas, but highlight wacky\u00a0tribes. Anything from\u00a0The Royal Tanenbaums\u00a0to\u00a0Meet the Fockers<\/a>\u00a0are unique\u00a0ideas for your Xmas-overdosed readers.<\/p>\n We may not leave the house much, but there will still be mirrors. And people who will see you now and again. The athleisure trend is still going strong, so this is an easy post for anyone who\u00a0has goals over the holidays\u00a0including changing your shirt at least twice.<\/p>\n We've all seen every episode of Scandal and drooled over Olivia Pope's white outfit skills. But what other TV discoveries\u00a0have you made late\u00a0at\u00a0night when you should be sleeping and have work the next day?\u00a0Peaky Blinders<\/a>\u00a0is a gem when it comes to costumery, as is, surprisingly,\u00a0Fargo<\/a>!<\/p>\n The\u00a0schmaltz isn't everyone's\u00a0thing, and maybe it's not yours, either. Giver readers a step-by-step on how\u00a0to throw\u00a0a totally non-conformist and unexpected holiday soiree. Who\u00a0wouldn't\u00a0love a zombie Christmas Party? Brains!<\/p>\n Did you find your old Santa photos? Share them with your readers! I haven't found mine, but here's\u00a0my daughter\u00a0with\u00a0Santa just before her first Christmas.\u00a0TRY TO RESIST! I dare you.<\/p>\n Don't have pictures from years past with Mr. Claus? Go around town and make new ones! In a chic\u00a0outfit, of course.<\/p>\n Ever wonder “how did that happen?” while listening to a Christmas song? Or, just generally, WTF? Let's talk about that.<\/p>\n You might actually have some time for reading over the holidays, so provide your readers with some fun, fashion-centric options. I highly recommend\u00a0Crazy Rich Asians<\/a>\u00a0and the sequel\u00a0China Rich Girlfriend<\/a>. The luxury fashion and jewelry indulgences\u00a0are incredible!<\/p>\n One of my most popular\u00a0blog posts\u00a0ever featured photos a table-top show in San Francisco\u2014and this was just a couple months after I launched my blog and we were still trying to figure out how the DSLR worked. Everyone\u00a0loves tablescape porn! And this one works for any holiday.<\/p>\n Not everyone can\u00a0run\u00a0out and buy a new sequin dress for every party or every year, even. How do you glam up what's already in your closet to make it holiday-ready? That might help out a few peeps.<\/p>\n One of my favorite\u00a0Anna Dello Russo blog posts was\u00a0when\u00a0she shared her rules for Christmas Dressing:\u00a0Wear Gold. Emphasize that you are a gift!<\/p>\n Everyone has one. Like that time our founder got drunk and told Martin Parr he was the most boring person. Ever.<\/p>\n “Home for the Holidays” means different things to different people. What does it mean for you?<\/p>\n There's no rule you have to stay home and stare at the Christmas tree on December 25. If you're getting cabin fever, get out of the house! One of\u00a0Jennine's\u00a0favorite Christmases was when she took surfing lessons in Waikiki. Some other fun things to do on Christmas: go to a yoga class, go to the movies, go ice skating. Whatever!<\/p>\n For some reason it tastes better that way.<\/p>\n The snow. The mansion. The beautiful dinner. The harmony. The Lexus with the bow on it.\u00a0RIGHT.<\/p>\n Embrace your humbug. You're sure to find some comrades.<\/p>\n Give Buddy a run for his elven money.<\/p>\n Is it the thoughtfulness? Whether\u00a0it fulfills a need, or is it\u00a0extravagance? What makes a great present GREAT?<\/p>\n You know, because it's the season of giving and all.<\/p>\n Now here's a challenge. They say the best things in life are “free” so how can you give presents that are both great and free? Ok, well, how about great presents on a budget?<\/p>\n1.
