25 Things to do This Christmas

In a couple of days, it will be December which means: the Christmas season is almost here and there are so many things to do!

Besides the fall season, the holiday season is my favorite. I love the decorations, music, the cookies and everything about the season. For the last couple of weeks between my study sessions (its finals season) I have managed to squeeze in the time to bake and decorate!

Since I did my "Things to do this Fall list" I thought it would be befitting to do a Christmas one.

As there are 25 (24 really) days before Christmas, I thought it'd be befitting to do a list of 25 things to do this holiday season.

They are fun, very seasonal activities that you and your family/friends will enjoy.

25 Things to do This Christmas

1. Do a marathon of Christmas films. Elf or the Santa Clause, anyone? Better yet why not watch a movie every other evening as a family.

2. Bake Christmas cookies. And maybe host a cookie swap night?

• One delicious recipe- Candy Cane Sugar Cookies

3. Call your parents (or grandparents) and tell them you love them and wish them happy holidays.

4. Make mulled apple cider.

5. Make and decorate a gingerbread house.

6. Go to a carol service or join a caroling group.

7. Send Christmas cards to your loved ones.

8. Build a snowman (if possible).

9. How about making some homemade gifts? Both thoughtful and fun to make.

• how about some hair scrunchies 
• or a headband?

10. Make a Christmas playlist.

11. Host a weekly game night.

12. Organize a holiday party or supper.

14. Count down do the big day using an Advent calendar.

15. Make some paper snowflakes and hang them down from the ceiling.

19. Write a grateful list.

20. Drink (or make) eggnog

23. Host a cookie decorating party.

24. Go to your local church and attend the Christmas pageant/program.

25. Take a yearly family portrait. Maybe in ugly Christmas sweaters?

Important:

Have FUN!

Those are all the fun, family-friendly activities I could think of for this Christmas season. Obviously, there are some activities that depend on the season/weather and culture, but they can be adjusted for your family.

This year I challenge myself to do all the activities on this list, it could be a great family-bonding activity and I know it will make some great memories. Follow me on Instagram where I'll be sure to post what I'm checking off my list!
