The year 2022 is quickly coming to an end. The month of December is now officially here and soon 2023 will be here as well. Below is a list of some December activities you can do with friends and family to finish off this year with happy thoughts.
- Decorate Christmas cookies
You can do this with your friends or family. You could also maybe have a cookie decorating contest. Even the simplest activities can be the most fun.
- Start your Christmas gift shopping
It’d be ideal to finish your gift shopping soon, so you aren’t stressing about what to get people on Christmas Eve. Also, make sure you don’t forget anyone…I don’t think they’d ever forget about the fact that you forgot about them. Yikes.
- Put your Christmas tree up
Is it really Christmas if you don’t have a Christmas tree?
- Decorate a gingerbread house
Just like Christmas cookies, you can also decorate gingerbread houses with friends and family and host a fun decorating contest.
- Watch some classic holiday movies
In the same way, some people watch Halloween movies to get into the Halloween spirit, you can also watch Christmas movies to get into the Christmas spirit. My go-to would be Home Alone.
- Do some outdoor winter activities
You could go ice skating, sledding, skiing, winter hiking, etc. To make things simple, you could also just go on a walk around town and admire the winter weather.
