In November, the Hawaiian Shaved Ice team put together a November Bucket list full of fun activities to celebrate fall and Thanksgiving. Since we are already into December, we thought it would be fun to make another list. This time, our team has assembled a list of 25 Days of Christmas Activities. These activities are great to celebrate the season and are perfect for the whole family.
1. Make hot chocolate, and add lots of marshmallows! (You can even make a marshmallow snowman buddy!)
2. Snuggle on the couch and watch your favorite Christmas movies.
3. Take a family photo with Santa Claus.
4. Go to a Christmas Parade.
5. Make Christmas tree ornaments. (My family likes to make salt dough ornaments.)
6. Put up and decorate a Christmas tree.
7. Hang Christmas lights outside.
8. Design Christmas cards and mail them to family and friends.
9. Go Christmas caroling.
10. Decorate a gingerbread house.
