10 Christmas Activities To Get You Into The Holiday Spirit
"My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others." - Bob Hope
If you love Christmas, then doing these activities will help you get into that holiday spirit. Christmas time is a wonderful opportunity to bond with loved ones and to really give to those in need or just out of the goodness in your heart. There is always something to do during the holidays whether you participate in a 5k run, or have a fun day with family. These festive activities will help you channel your giving spirit, and these activities can be fun for everyone.
1. Go ice skating
If you don't have super cold weather where you live, then go to an ice skating rink and act like you do. The activity is fun if you can ice skate, but it can be hilarious if you have never skated a day in your life!
2. Christmas Karaoke
Who doesn't like singing All I want for Christmas is you by Mariah Carey? I love that song when it's Christmas time. I never miss a chance to sing it!
3. Watch Christmas movies, and drink hot cocoa.
A few of my favorite Christmas movies are How the Grinch stole Christmas, Home Alone, and The Polar Express. Drinking hot cocoa just adds warmth to this activity.
4. Make homemade ornaments
This could be a lovely Christmas traditions for couples and for families.
5. Take Christmas themed pictures
You can take Christmas pictures of your dogs dressed up in holiday clothing, or you can take family group pictures and make Christmas cards.
6. Decorate the Christmas tree
Filling the tree with lights and ornaments is one of my favorite parts of Christmas. It can make your surroundings look so festive.
7. Holly jolly dance off
I recommend that you do this with friends, and I think it's so funny to just have a whole Christmas dance-off. Once you win the dance off I don't know if you will still have friends afterward (hopefully they aren't sore losers), but regardless its still fun!
8. Bake Christmas cookies
The pillsbury Christmas cookies are delicious, but homemade baked cookies with frosting gets me every time.
9. Take a drive to see neighborhood decorations
I don't know about you, but I enjoy seeing other people be festive. Seeing them be festive makes me want to be even more festive.
10. Donate or volunteer
This holiday season is always a chance to give back. Getting into that giving spirit will not only bless someone else, but that blessing will come back to you. Plus, even if you don't want to give people objects, you can always give blood because someone is always in need of that.
