The Holiday Season is Here Bulbers💡

Yooh, December holiday traditions are the best vibe fr 😩🎄 Here’s a mix of the classic ones and some cozy, feel-good ones people actually do around the world:

Putting up the tree (real or fake) and decorating it with lights, ornaments, and a star/topper. Families often do it together with hot cocoa and holiday music playing.

2. Advent Calendars
Starting December 1st, opening a little door/window each day for chocolate, small toys, or messages. Super popular in Europe and now everywhere.

Driving around neighborhoods to see the crazy light displays, or decorating your own house with lights, wreaths, and inflatables.
