How to make a Wintertyde calendar

It's simple to create your own Wintertyde calendar to attach to a kitchen wall, where you can see it everyday. Purchase a standard size 2015 wall calendar. You may want to do this after or near the first of the year as they will be on sale at 50% off or more. Detach the months January, February, and March from the calender. Do this carefully so the pages do not tear. Arrange the pages from top to bottom, January, February, and March, running downward and flipped over to the backside. Now, neatly tape the pages together will perhaps 3 lengths of tape about 2" long. Be sure to align the pages edges neatly. Take your time. Now, you're all done and ready to insert Wintertyde 2015 information onto the pages. First, use a colored pen that does not penetrate to outline the dates of Wintertyde neatly. This will be the box for January 7th through the box for March 6th. In red, circle the dates for important Wintertyde dates: Jan 7th First Day of Wintertyde or "Wintertyde Day" February 1st Saint Brigit's Day February 2nd Candlemas and Ground Hog Day Super Bowl date fluctuates, but for 2015, it falls on February 1st Saint Valentine's Day February 14th Mardi Gras February 17th Saint David's Day is March 1st Last Day of Wintertyde March 6th In a different color, circle March 17th, Saint Patrick's Day and

the first day of Spring, March 20th Now you can fill in other boxes with Wintertyde projects. For example, "January 7th - Attach Wintertyde wreath to front door, put up clear and white Wintertyde lights at the entry. Wintertyde window candles with something silver." You may want to save setting up you Wintertyde tabletop tree for a date later in the week such as January 10th. Just make sure the projects in the boxes you highlight with info get done and follow protocol. The advantage of using the Wintertyde calendar is that you can SEE that Winter will eventually end. Wintertyde allows you too make it from one event to the next by concentrating on the holiday rather than on the endlessness of Winter weather. You progress from daytoday through Wintertyde in small increments. The goal is to forestall any space where the "Winter blues" might set in. Start getting ready and have fun!
