The classic Christmas movies are also a great way to get in the spirit, movies such as “The Grinch,” “Home Alone,” “Frosty the Snowman,” “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and so many more.

Go Ice Skating

Ice skating is the ultimate wintertime activity. Although ice skating on a lake is not safe, there are plenty of other places where you can skate around a rink, safley. 

Listen to Christmas Music

Nothing says Christmas like playing classics all hours of the day. Although you can grow tired of hearing the same songs all season, Christmas music is the ultimate way to get into the spirit.

Give Back to Those in Need

There are so many different opportunities to give back to people who don’t have as much. Donating to the school pantry along with picking a gift off a giving tree are just a few of the ways for you to give back to your community and spread the holiday cheer with others. 

This holiday season will end before you know it so enjoy it as much as you can!
