4✮ Decorate your Christmas tree and your house. Play some christmas music and make your house festive.

5✮ Make Christmas crafts (two lovely ideas I posted earlier on my blog is The Bauble Wreath and the Door Christmas Decoration). You can also make ornaments for your tree, using pine cones or paper.

6✮ Go outside and play with the snow! Build a snowman, build a snow angel and take lots of pictures with your family and friends!!! And at the end, play snowball fight!!!

7✮ Get in the car or walk around your neighborhood to see the christmas decoration and lights! I love doing this with my god-daughter and her sister, they love walking to the village and seeing the christmas lights!

8✮ Go ice-skating! What can be more fun than ice-skating?

9✮ Make handmade cards, write your wishes and send them to friends and family. I used to do this many years ago but I stopped (don't know why) but I love this tradition. I also used to collect all the christmas cards that others sent to us!

10✮ Choose toys with your kids that are no longer using or loving and give them to a family that doesn't have the opportunity to buy new toys for their children. They would be delighted and kids will be so happy!

11✮ It's Harry Potter time!!! On December, we always watch (re-watch to be exact) all Harry Potter movies. The first one would always be my favourite!!

12✮ Make a Christmas pajama party or an indoors picnic! Wear your festive (or matching) pajamas, place a nice tablecloth on the floor and eat your lovely dinner in front of the tv!
