One thing I love to do is make lists – and check them off. When I create a list I know I won’t forget what I need to get done (eventually!)
Sometimes I write seasonal “bucket lists” (like the one we did last summer) and get my kids involved. They absolutely love going through and crossing things off every week – and because of it, I think we spend more time together as a family, which is the best part of all.
Here are some ideas to get you started on your own winter bucket list:
1. Make Peppermint Cocoa
2. Watch a Holiday movie
3. Create a popcorn garland
4. Play in the snow
5. Make a gingerbread house
6. Drive around and look at Christmas lights
7. Go to a Holiday bazaar
8. Sing Christmas carols
9. Pick out the perfect Christmas tree
10. Have a Christmas cookie exchange with friends and family
11. Go ice skating
12. Make paper snowflakes
13. Build a snowman
14. Listen to Christmas music
15. Make ornaments
16. Watch a Christmas program
17. Go to a tree lighting ceremony
18. Visit Santa
19. Attend a holiday party
20. Give back in some way
What other things are on your ‘must-do’ this holiday season?

Hi there,
I am following you from Titus Tuesday. Put up the creche outside.. we are in AZ and it is so easy to put up the scene. Put out the wooden creche that my husband made. Can't wait. Sing Christmas songs. Thank God for Jesus.
Blessings,

This is a great list! We made a popcorn garland for the first time last year, they had so much fun with it! I'll be doing it again this year for sure!

This list reminds me of what I used to do for the holidays when I was a kid. Thank you for sharing with us on Countdown in Style. Don't forget to stop by Friday to see if you are featured. 🙂
These are some great things for kids to do. We do most of these already, but happy to incorporate more. Last year, my son made an igloo of rice crispy treats. He loved it!
