It's finally November, which means it's time to put on some boots and head outdoors for some holiday fun. Even though Thanksgiving is still a couple weeks away, it's never too early to indulge in some winter fun (even before winter actually starts). In my opinion, winter is the best season of the year because of the abundant choices of fun things to do as the holidays grow near. From hot cocoa to holiday parades and festivals, not a minute goes to waste in these chilly months. Here are some fun winter date ideas to help you make the most out of your winter:
