The Christmas season is a beautiful time, and even more so when you have the opportunity to celebrate the holiday with those you love. Soon, children will be on Christmas vacation and loved ones may be coming to visit. 

Here are a few fun activities you can do with your children or others spending time with you this season.

Decorate together

Put on some of your favorite holiday tunes, unpack the Christmas boxes and turn your home into a winter wonderland. Help children hang the garland and place ornaments on the tree. Don't have Christmas decorations handy? Make a fun shopping trip out of it and let your child pick a few of their favorite sparkly items to spruce up the house.

This is also a great time to share the Christmas traditions you enjoyed as a child.

Snuggle up with a classic or new favorite

Pop some popcorn, heat up some hot chocolate and cozy up together to watch a few favorite Christmas movies! There's nothing like a few movie nights to encourage you and your loved ones to share your favorites with one another. 

Remember the true meaning of Christmas together
