• Walk under the moon, to observe the neighbors' pretty Christmas decorations and choose the best decorated house!
  
  
• Evening without screens, by candlelight.
  
  
• Trip to the library to raid Christmas books
  

• Hot chocolate bar: marshmallows, small candies, Christmas canes, whipped cream, sprinkles, chocolate chips, we build the drink of our dreams!
  
  
• Sleep under the tree, in the soft glow of Christmas lights
  
  
• Snowman - if Mother Nature is not on our side, we'll go with a DIY version or with marshmallows!
  
  
• Special Christmas bath with foam , a bath bomb, glow sticks or cubes, toys, a hot towel out of the dryer, etc.
  
  
  
• Seek and find Christmas: we make a list of items to find (Santa Claus, reindeer, penguin, tree, etc.) and we go for a walk to check off all the items on our list
  
  
• Christmas cinema, we watch our favorite film as a family. Which one is yours?
