This is so easy to make at home, and you can usually use minimal supplies and time to make a cute but very welcoming wreath for your front door.
Catch all the decorations
Does your neighborhood have lots of beautiful decorations? Take a walk with your kids and see all the Christmas lights! You could also drive around town to see how historic buildings are honoring the holiday spirit.
Bake cookies

Make your own ornaments
This small DIY activity should definitely be a part of your bucket list because this will give the whole family a chance to connect.
Christmas is all about the snow…
and if you don’t live near the snow, then definitely make a trip to the mountains or somewhere further up north where you can do some fun snow activities.
Cozy up
Cozying up in a fleece blanket in front of the fire while sipping some hot cocoa is the perfect bonding idea this Christmas! It’ll be sure to stick in your memory.
Sleigh ride
Have snow? Or lots of hills you can sled down? If so, then go sledding!
Or, gather up everyone and go ice skating…no matter how bad you are at it!
Embrace the wholesome traditions
Use this time to make your children more aware of the traditions that surround them.
This Christmas, read the Christmas story in the Bible to your kids, watch some old Christmas movies, and try some traditional recipes!
Christmas Caroling
This wouldn’t just brighten up your day but it would also make the people around you happy. You could even go to an orphanage or home for the elderly to sing.
All of these things will give you a chance to get closer to your friends and family while having lots of fun this Christmas. So make the most out of your holidays and enjoy yourself!
