It is almost my favorite time of year! The Christmas season brings pure joy to my heart and over the recent years my husband and I have made the decision to really press into what the Christmas season really means; and in doing so, we have made deliberate efforts at going agains the hustle and instead finding ways to intentionally enjoy this season with our cute little family.
Today I’m sharing 5 of my favorite Christmas activities! Mamas, these require little to no effort and produce loads of fun and memories.
1. Make Paper Snowflakes
This is a fun paper snowflake tutorial from a few years back!
2. Have a Dance Party
Some of my favorite Christmas albums for dancing:
- Comfort & Joy by Folk Angel (all of their music is amazing)
- This Good Night is Still Everywhere by Dustin Kensrue
- Let It Snow… Let It Reindeer by Relient K (Some good dancing tunes on this one! And a hidden track that is hilarious.)
3. Make Hot Cocoa
Use a mix or if you’re feeling adventurous, the old-fashioned stove top kind is a family tradition in this house!
4. Make Christmas Cookies
Use pre-made dough & add Christmas sprinkles! I also love these cookie recipes:
- Chocolate-Dipped Coconut Snowballs
- Peanut Butter Blossoms (only 5 ingredient recipe!!)
5. Have a Christmas Tree Campout
Make your own teepee with sheets & blankets and fall asleep in sleeping bags under the twinkly Christmas tree lights. Best kid memory ever and you win for coolest mom ever.
