It's the little things that make a difference. 
Whether it's going to the nutcracker the week before Christmas like you have for as long as you can remember
 or
 watching the movies you do every year, but this year is the first to be away from friends and family. 

It's the little things in life that we can keep consistent (somewhat) that help life feel (semi) normal.  So here are the little things that have been helping Christmas time feel normal for me. 

I think that these things are wonderful no matter what your circumstances though I mean come on, who wouldn't enjoy watching Holiday Inn with a big cup of tea??
