Around the holidays there are many different activities people can partake in. However, some don’t know what to do or where to go during the holidays. Here are some ideas on what you can do with family and friends during the winter time.
Go Ice Skating
During the holidays you could go ice skating. Ice skating is a great way to get yourself out of the house to avoid winter blues. Along with being a fun activity, ice skating has health benefits. According to Harvard Medical School, you can burn up to 200 calories an hour. It’s also a great way to improve balance and coordination.

Take a Walk
Walking is important. When it’s cold you might not feel like taking a walk, but you need to make sure you get exercise. So bundle up, put on your best walking shoes, and go outside.
Make Your Own Ornaments or Gingerbread House
Making crafts is a great way to distract your mind or keep you busy, so maybe try making your own Christmas ornaments or a gingerbread house. A gingerbread house is simple and easy to make with instructions if you buy it from a store. If you want to go the extra mile, you could make your own gingerbread. If you make ornaments for your tree, why not give them as a gift to friends or family? There are tons of tutorials online if you need a little guidance or inspiration.
