Kids: Here’s to Christmas!
THE activities highlighted below will help kids and their families have the most magical Christmas yet.
Write a letter to Santa
This is one Christmas tradition that just never gets old. Penning a letter to Santa is one way of passing on the tradition of letter writing to your kids.
Decorate a Christmas tree
No matter when your Christmas tree goes up, decorating is a fun activity for the holidays!
Dedicate a morning to adorning your tree with string lights and family ornaments.
Go shopping
There is nothing quite like the fun and chaos of a trip to the mall the week before Christmas. But last-minute holiday shopping does not have to be stressful! Turn that dreaded trip to the mall into a fun family outing — complete with a visit to Santa, of course.
Bake Christmas cookies
Nothing will brighten your day like a Christmas cookie-baking marathon. Your kids will adore this seasonal task, and all that baking will leave your house smelling so sweet.
Package the goods in festive wrapping or mason jars and deliver them to neighbours, teachers, mailmen or anyone in your life who deserves a bit of appreciation!
Start a Christmas sing-along
Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas
song. Learn all the lyrics to your favourite Christmas songs. These songs are the perfect way to toast to the most wonderful time of the year.
Whether you enjoy karaoke or gathering
around the piano, holiday music can be a fun activity for everyone.
Spend time volunteering
This holiday season, devote a day to giving back. Sign up to volunteer in a soup kitchen, food pantry or the local charitable organisation of your family’s choice. Make this a tradition you will cherish and continue for years to come. —
