A very student Christmas

A students Christmas is very different to a family one, but not necessarily in a bad way! It may be a lot less expensive and the decorations may be tackier, but that's not necessarily bad! Here are a few tips to make your student Christmas your own.

1. Secret Santa

Much cheaper than getting a present for everyone! Write everyone's name down on a piece and paper and put into a hat/bowl or whatever container you can find. Each person then takes a name (not their own!) and buy that person a present. Set a limit of around £5/10 for a widespread, cheap Christmas everyone in your house/course/halls can get involved with!

2. Ready-to-cook dinner

Your local supermarket will know students don't want to cook a full dinner, so produced meats, veg, roasties and stuffing that you only need to warm in the oven. Make it easy and delicious with little washing up!

3. Pot luck dinner

Same as the ready to cook dinner, but more widespread. Each dinner guest brings one item of food. One brings the meat, another the potatoes, another the gravy... And so on!

 

4. Takeout dinner

Even easier! Everyone chips in and orders a takeout - simple!

5. Decorations

Use scrap paper and car to make snowflakes to stick on windows. Pound land is always filled with tinsel and cheap trees you can all chip in for too.

 

6. Music

Bored of your grandmas Christmas vinyl? Put a twist on your music by adding more recent songs by modern artists - the Killers and Fall Out Boy make a sure fire change to Nat King Cole!
