The days are shorter, it’s freezing, and to be perfectly honest, winter isn’t my favourite season, but it is so beautiful and there are so many fun outdoor and indoor actives to take part in. With winter nearly here, I have some really fun things that we can do.
Outdoor winter fun:
1. Building a skating rink for the kids can be fun for everyone. I love playing ice hockey with my friends and family on our own rink.
2. Cross-country skiing is a great activity for the whole family. Or it can be enjoyable as an exciting winter date!
3. Who doesn’t enjoy tobogganing? I still love racing down the hill with friends. It makes me feel like a kid again.
4. Have a fire and roast marshmallows. This one can be romantic for a date or enjoyable for the kids.
5. Dog sledding is great for dog lovers and you get a chance to take in the beautiful winter wonderland around you.
6. If you like the natural smell from your Christmas tree, bring the kids to your local tree farm and make it a family event.
7. How about snowboarding and downhill skiing? If you haven’t had the chance to do either try them out this year!
8. Building a snowman is always a winter tradition in my family.
9. Watch the Santa Claus Parade.
10. Join the children when they make their snow angels...it’s amusing!
11. Horse and carriage ride with your loved one while you take in your breath taking city
12. My favourite thing to do during winter is going to a ski resort with my friends. You can enjoy just about everything from this list there.
Indoor winter fun:
13. On a cold winter day I like to bake! Cookies, muffins, cakes and gingerbread men or a gingerbread man house. You can give them to friends, bring them to an office party of donate them to charities or shelters for the Christmas season.
14. Have the whole family take part in making a nice big pot of soup! It will keep everyone warm on those cold winter nights.
15. Of Course you have to put up the Christmas tree. Give everyone a task so the whole family takes part in this Christmas tradition.
16. Snuggle up on the couch with a loved one and watch funny movies with hot chocolate and treats.
17. Warm up by the fireplace and tell family stories.
18. Host dinner parties and make egg nog with or without rum.
19. Volunteering at a shelter home will make you feel great about giving back to your community and to people who don’t have as much as you.
20. Treat yourself to an at home spa and include candles, bubbles, soft music, robe and wine.
21. Make your way to a winter festival play or look at your local city’s event calendar.
22. Take the kids to have their pictures taken with Santa Claus (workplace, schools or mall).
23. Make it a game night, with some fun action games on your Nintendo Wii system!
What’s on your list for fun activities this winter? Whatever you do have fun and stay warm. Remember the first official day of winter is December 21, 2010, but you can still enjoy all these activities any day!
