Winter Bucket List

Happy WEEK OF CHRISTMAS friends! Can you believe today is the first day of Winter? It certainly doesn't feel like it with temps in NJ in the 50's and 60's, and expected to hit 70 on Christmas Day! What!? Before jumping into what I want to accomplish this season, let's take a look at how I did on my Fall Bucket List, shall we? 

Fall Bucket List

drink allthepumpkinales: Complete! I think I had about 10 pumpkin ales! You cane see what I thought of them here. 

craft something: Complete!
put up fall decor: Complete!
attend another concert: Complete! Sara Bareilles 11/5/2015, Ani DiFranco 11/21/15
dress up for Halloween: Complete!
Coach and Tami Taylor from Friday Night Lights, ya'll

go to a haunted house or forest: Fail. 
attend an Oktoberfest event: Fail. 
watch a "new to me" horror movie: Complete! Children of the Corn. Creepy kids!
attend a football game//tailgate//or throw a Football themed party: Fail. But I did co-host a Halloween party, so I'm calling it a Pass. 
bake banana nut bread: Fail. 
go pumpkin picking: Complete! Blogger Day, 10/10/15

go apple picking: Fail. 
attend a fall festival or winery: Complete! Brotherhood Winery  (grape stomping!) 10/11/15, Cheesesteak Festival and Fall Harvest Festival 10/24/15
enjoy a PSL or 5: Complete!
bake pumpkin pie- an annual tradition!: Fail. I did make Oreo pumpkin cheesecakes though, so I'm calling it a pass. 

 Overall, I think I did pretty well! With a new season upon us, it's time to make some goals for Winter. Usually, this is my time of the year to become a hermit, but there are a few holiday/cold weather things I'd like to see and do. (Actually, I kind of forgot that I had drafted this, and absent-mindedly completed some of these things over the weekend, but I'm leaving them on here anyway.) Here's what I have in store for this season: 
Winter Bucket List
Go see the tree in Rockefeller Center
Union Square Holiday Market
Eat at Serendipity
deck the halls
craft some stuff
Go see Star Wars: The Force Awakens
try eggnog
have a holiday movie night- complete with hot cocoa and footie pajamas
Attend a hockey game
Attend a holiday party
Go to a concert
try a new noodle house
attempt to make mulled wine


Do you have seasonal goals? What's on your list?

    I desperately want to come to New York at Christmastime (I've never been...but I feel like Christmas would be such a magical time!). Seeing the tree and eating a Serendipity would be on my list too.

    Oh please go see the Rockerfeller tree so that I can live vicariously through you! Thanks. Also love your pumpkin beer list. The Shipyard was my favorite

    Love your winter list! Let me know when you're coming to see the tree, if it's a week night I'll hang out and meet you. It's only a block and a half from my office. Ditto on Serendipity! I've been meaning to go have frozen hot chocolate forever!
