HOLIDAY MOVIE NIGHT
Gather round with a bowl of air-popped popcorn or pistachios and select your favorite holiday movie for a night that’s sure to please the whole family. Can’t decide which is your favorite? Make it a double-feature! [2]
Cross-Stitch Some Christmas Merriment
While you're watching Hallmark Christmas movies, try stitching a sweet something for a friend, teacher, or relative. These 4" cross-stitch patterns make gifts that sleigh. (Sorry, not sorry!) [3]
Count Down the Days
Never let December 1 pass by without indulging in your first Christmas activity—opening the premier door on your advent calendar. (Bonus points for spicing things up by getting one filled with beauty products, cheese, or chocolate.) [4]
MAKE COOKIES OR OTHER HOLIDAY TREATS
Although you may not want to keep too many treats in the house, there may be others who would love the kindness of home-baked goodies. Consider those who may not have family nearby or have to work over the holidays. [5]
See a Christmas Choir or Orchestra
There are plenty of music-related Christmas events to attend during the holiday season. Whether you want to see a big performance like the Trans-Siberian Orchestra or attend a local choir or holiday concert, there are countless musical performances that will deliver all the Christmas cheer you desire.
