Spending time with family during the Christmas season is at the very root of what this special holiday is all about, so planning some fun activities can help to make it even more memorable.
You may be wondering what fun activities you can do with your family to make the Christmas season a memorable one for all. There are actually a lot of things you can do, from the traditional to the not so traditional ones. One way to get ideas is think back to your own childhood and the things you did with your family or friends. You may discover some traditions you want to pass on to your own family.For instance, making cookies
is a tradition that many people have done over years. One of the ways to make
making cookies fun is in decorating them. So, you'll want to choose cookies
such as sugar cookies or gingerbread cookies just to name a few. These types of
cookies are always favourites to decorate and of course to eat later! Baking
cookies is not only fun but also provides yummy smells sure to be remembered in
years to come!
If possible, take the family
to a Christmas tree farm where you can all choose a tree and cut it down. If
this isn't possible you should still involve the family in picking out a tree,
so everyone can feel they contributed to choosing just the right tree!
You should also be sure to
have Christmas music playing a lot during the holiday season especially when
doing Christmas activities such as cooking, trimming the tree, wrapping
presents etc.
Some other fun things you can
do are take the family to a Christmas parade or tree lighting ceremony. It's
also fun to drive around the neighbourhoods and look at all the different
holiday decorations people have put up!
To help preserve your
Christmas memories you should be sure to take plenty of pictures or videos.
This way you'll have something to pass down and share with other family members
thru the years.
