Welcome to Day 10 of our Advent Calendar! Today, we’re excited to share an illustration that captures the spirit of Christmas travels. This image beautifully depicts the joy and excitement that comes with journeying during the holiday season. Whether it’s a trip to visit family or an adventure to a new place, traveling during Christmas time has its own unique charm. Let this illustration inspire you to create your own memorable holiday experiences.

1. Prepare Your Vehicle

Before you hit the road, make sure your vehicle is in top shape. Check the tire pressure, oil level, and windshield wiper fluid. If it’s due for a service, get it done before your trip. Also, pack an emergency kit with items like a flashlight, blankets, and first aid supplies.

2. Plan Your Route

Plan your route ahead of time and consider using a GPS or map app to help navigate. Be aware of the weather conditions on your route and be prepared for any changes. It’s also a good idea to have a backup plan in case of road closures or heavy traffic.

3. Pack Smart

When packing, keep the weight evenly distributed in your car. Don’t forget to bring snacks, water, and entertainment for the journey. Remember to pack a phone charger and keep important items like wallets and tickets within easy reach.

This year I thought it would be fun to make these into a DRAW THIS IN YOUR STYLE! There are two ways to do this:

1) Draw it yourself in your style OR 2) Download and color the page

Next, share on Instagram using the tag #dtiys-advent and TAG ME IN THE PHOTO – @juliemstudios (this will allow me to find it) 

I will be sharing your versions in my stories throughout the month!
