Christmas is right around the corner, and there are still plenty of fun things you can do both inside and outside to add some fun to your holiday season.
One of the activities you can do inside is to bake Christmas cookies. Baking is a great way to help curb your sweet tooth, but it is also a way to help fill your home with fun and Christmas cheer. Plus, who does not love the smell of freshly baked cookies filling their home?
Another inside activity you can do is decorate gingerbread houses. It is a perfect activity that you can do with your friends and family. Not only does a gingerbread house serve as a decoration, but it is also a sweet treat! It is a win-win!
You could also have a Christmas movie marathon. Grab a blanket and settle in for a classic Christmas movie marathon. Watch classics such as “A Christmas Story”, “Home Alone”, “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” and many more. You can even bring the Christmas cookies you baked for a snack!
There are plenty of Christmas light displays going on all through the holiday season. According to the “City of Mattoon, Illinois-Lightworks” Facebook page, the Christmas light display will start on Nov. 21 in Peterson Park. They will have a designated day that you can walk through the light display on Nov. 20 from 5-7p.m. Nov. 21 begins the days you can drive through the lights. This display will go from Nov. 21 to Dec. 28. Go check it out!
Finally, you could build a snowman. This activity brings back the nostalgia of childhood and gives you the opportunity to reminisce about the past. Even better, it is completely free to build a snowman, so this is a nice budget friendly activity you can do if you are not looking to spend any money. It gets you outside to enjoy the winter air and provides fun for everyone.
