This is a great bucket list. We love going to see the lights every year. I am actually going to be attending a local cookie swap. These are really fun ideas.
Thanks! It is a tradition of ours to go see the lights every year. I hope you have fun at your cookie swap!
We also do a December bucket list- love making new memories! This sounds like so much fun!
I hope you have fun checking things off your list this year!
This is a bit daunting for us… we have birthdays that sandwich Christmas, and 4 sets of parents to visit. So honestly, most holidays, we are just trying to make it through.
I hope you find time to make some fun holiday memories in all the craziness!
Yes to all of these! We’ve been having Christmas music dance parties almost every day. It’s just too fun. Can’t wait to go sledding!
I love Christmas dance parties! I have been playing Christmas music whenever I can!
Such a great list! I want to do some of these things with my kids too!

Thanks! I hope you have fun!
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Thank you!
Love this! Trying to do some things with my littles, even though they won’t remember!
Me too! I figure you never know what they may remember!
I love how so many of these are just simple activities to help bring the family together! That is the whole point of the holiday season (in my opinion). I’m hosting a linkup on Decmeber 26 that’s all about #SimplifyingTheSeason and I’d love to see you there!

Thanks! I love the idea of simple activities to bring the family together and really experience the season!
I WANt to go ice skating or do anything cold weather activity 🙁 No skating ring or snow anytime soon 🙁 I’m crossing my fingers though!!
Me too! I am not necessarily looking forward to the cold, but I am looking forward to the cold weather activities!
You know what I love most about your list? Okay, two things: one, it’s super simple (aka – doable), and two, a lot of it focuses around giving to others. What a great way to celebrate. Merry Christmas!
Thank you! I think simple is the way to go! People already have so much going on during the holidays! I also thought it was important for my daughter to learn about giving, even though she is still so young.
What a great list! Perfect for the holidays!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!
Great list! I love taking photos together and also watching Xmas movies… my favorite is Elf!
