Going back home for the holidays could be quite an interesting trip especially when you grow up in a small town and all your friends and family reside there. 

Returning to a small town can be difficult due to the lack of available activities to participate in. If you are from a really small town, it makes going home even more difficult. 

Here are six tips to help you through your time back in your small town.: 

1. Take the time to reconnect with those who missed you.

Taking the time to reconnect when you return to your small town for the holidays makes time go by faster. It also gives you the opportunity to catch up with your loved ones and tell them all about your new ventures. 

2. Host your own gatherings.

Hosting your own gatherings when returning home to your small town is a great way to pass time, especially if you’re there for a while. It is also a great way for you to get your party on though you’re in a small town. And who doesn’t like a party? Especially with a nice bonfire and roasting marshmallows. 

3. Go shopping and support your local businesses.

When returning home to your small town for the holidays, I find the best way to pass time is to go shopping and support your local businesses. It also allows you to find the special gifts you need for your friends and family.  

4. Take a ride around and look at the scenery while blasting music in your car.

One of the things that you should definitely try if you get bored is go into a car, blast music, and drive around in your tiny little town. I’m sure there are things you could appreciate about the scenery  

5. Do some housekeeping.

One of the things that I noticed helps pass time is doing some housekeeping wherever you’re staying. It helps to cleanse your mind and helps the time go by faster. 

Plus, it gives you time to clean out what you need to before the major festivities. It’s a productive way to pass the time.. 

6. Go to Christmas parades and festivals.

A lot of small towns like to throw Christmas parades and festivals. This is usually one of my favorite activities. It gives you a festive feeling and it’s very fun to do with your friends or your family if you’re into that type of thing. 

Ultimately, returning to small towns can be difficult, especially when you’ve been away from it for so long. But I hope with these tips and tricks you can make your journey back home a little bit more fun.
