Go ice skating

Ice skating is a great activity to do as a family! You can find indoor skate rinks in nearly every city, but if you live in a larger city, you may be able to go ice skating outdoors as well.

Have a family cookie exchange

Have each family make their cookie to bring to a cookie exchange! This could be a fun way to celebrate the holidays if you have family members close by! If you don’t have any family nearby, consider doing a neighborhood exchange instead.

Read Christmas stories

You can check out Christmas books from your local library, or even score a few freebies from Amazon this time of year! If you are looking for something a little different, try an audiobook instead!
