# Listen to your favourite Christmas song

Everyone has a favourite Christmas song, what's yours?

If you need some inspiration, check out some of our favourites below. Click on any of them to play them right away on YouTube!

- Merry Christmas Everyone — Shakin' Stevens
- Stop the Cavalry — Jona Lewie
- The Night Santa Went Crazy — Weird Al

# Have a festive drink

Every country seems to have its own festive drink. Whatever your preferred Christmas drink is, gulp down a big cup or glass of it today.

If you're not sure, some common ones are mulled wine, egg nog and cinnamon hot chocolate. Our favourite has to be mulled cider though — it's delicious!

# Send a Christmas card

It might seem a bit early to be sending a Christmas card, but it's better that they arrive too early than in 2014!

If you have friends or family living abroad, then sending your cards today will make sure they arrive in time. You would be surprised how long mail can take in the busy Christmas season!

# Organise a Secret Santa

If you haven't already, why not organise a secret santa amongst your friends or family?

Our friend has made familysecretsanta.com, a great way to organise one between everyone for free. We can't wait to see who we get!

# Decorate your room

It might be a few days early to put up your tree, but that shouldn't stop your from making your room Christmassy!

Put some tinsel across the back of your bed, or get a Christmas-scented candle and light it. Our favourite scent is Christmas Cookie!

# Watch your favourite Christmas movie

There are so many good Christmas movies out there, and everybody seems to have a different favourite.

We love The Santa Clause, Home Alone 2 and Elf. We are also partial to Die Hard 2 (seems there's something about sequels!) as a bit of an anti-Christmas movie. What's your favourite? Tweet us at @syncostyleapps!

# Check out the Christmas decorations

It's the weekend, so head to your nearest town or city and admire the decorations. We wonder who's lucky enough to have the job of deciding on those decorations, and designing so many amazing shop fronts!

We love seeing Christmas decorations from all over. Tweet your favourites to us at @syncostyleapps, and we'll put the best in next year's app!

# Put up your Christmas tree!

Today is often considered the traditional day to put up Christmas trees.

People are often divided on Christmas trees — where do you stand? Real or artificial? Colourful or simple? Star or angel?

# Have a festive snack

Treat yourself to a tasty Christmas snack this Tuesday!

We recommend mince pies with some ice cream on the side. Delicious!

# Talk to distant family

We all have family and friends that are far away. Let them know you're thinking of them!

Give them a phone call or send an email. Wish them a happy Christmas!

# Tweet us your suggestions

In the giving spirit of the Christmas season, send us your suggestions for things that help you get in the Christmas mood.

Our favourites will be included in the final days before Christmas!

You can tweet us @syncostyleapps.

# Wear a Christmas Jumper

Today is Christmas Jumper Day! Wear a Christmas jumper and donate £1 or more (or the equivalent in your currency) to charity.

Remember, Christmas is the time of giving!

# Make your phone Christmassy

Sure your phone is nice and Christmassy already with this app, but you can do more!

Set your wallpaper to something Christmas themed. You can download any of the photos from this app on Flickr by using the links at the bottom of each day.

If you want to go all out, you can set your ringtone to Jingle Bells!

# Wish for Snow

Maybe if we all wish hard enough, we'll get a bucket of snow this weekend.

We want to build an amazing snowman like the one in this picture!

# Finish your Christmas shopping

Don't leave your Christmas shopping until the last minute! Get it all done on this Sunday so you can relax next weekend.

Sure it's tempting to leave all this until Christmas Eve, but you'll be very happy you got all your shopping done when that day does arrive!

# Eat a Piece of Chocolate

Imagine that the app is a traditional chocolate-based advent calendar. Have a little chocolate bar and pretend that you got it from the app — just like a real advent calendar!

# Help someone in need

Sometimes it's easy to forget what Christmas is all about. It means being kind and generous to one another. Today, help out someone in need.

This can mean so many things — give money to a person on the street, donate to your favourite charity, or maybe talk to a friend who's been having a difficult time.

# Listen to lots of Christmas music

At the start of the month we suggested listening to your favourite Christmas song. Now that there's just a week left until Christmas Day, go all out and listen to loads of music!

We've gone searching on Spotify, and have found an awesome Christmas playlist by Alyssa Mowery. It has 17 hours of Christmas goodness! Put it on random and listen for the day.

- Christmas Playlist

# Wear something festive coloured

After wearing a crazy Christmas jumper last week, it's time to go a bit more subtle. Maybe a hat, jumper or even just socks!

There are plenty of colours that are considered festive — we recommend going for something red, gold or green.

# Listen to Carolers

It's the Saturday before Christmas, so head to your nearest town and find some carolers. They're sure to be out singing today, one of the busiest shopping days before Christmas.

If you can't find any, pop on to YouTube and look at some classic caroling videos on there!

# Watch another Christmas movie!

It's almost the weekend again, so watch another Christmas movie! We've already watched a bunch this month.

Today we're thinking of going for Jingle All The Way. What are you going to watch? Tweet us @syncostyleapps!

# Do some Christmas baking

To finish up the weekend leading up to Christmas, do some baking. You could do something simple like cookies, or go all our with a cake.

We've picked some of our favourites from the BBC Food site below. Tweet your baked goods to us @syncostyleapps!

- Christmas Cake Pops
- Snowman Cookies
- Mince Pies

# Wrap your Christmas presents!

We're sure you've got all your Christmas shopping done (remember we told you not to wait until Christmas Eve!), so get wrapping.

If you've got extra time, wrap a bow on top to make it look extra nice!

# Relax!

It's Christmas Eve, so take it easy! Relax at home and get ready for the big day tomorrow!

# Happy Christmas!

It's finally here! Now close the app and enjoy your day!
