CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS: FUN IDEAS TO TRY

The grand holidays of 2011 are here again. Not only does it signify the end of the year but also Christmas a time for celebrations and preparation for the coming year.

Lots of age long activities are synonymous with this festive season of Christmas and while we look forward to the family reunion and gist, we may want to try out new fun ideas to help us enjoy the season.

We are used to giving out gifts, Christmas cards, ornaments and the rest but here are some unique things you can do this Christmas that can make you have a wonderful holiday season.

Redecorate the house: You can change the look and feel of your

 house. This is a nice Christmas activity that you should engage in. You should dispose off unneeded materials and your Christmas visitors will commend you on the new look of your house. You can adorn the walls with matching Christmas themed wallpapers.

For the Christmas gifts, instead of going to the shop to buy a gift, you may want to make a hand crafted item. This will be more appreciated since it reflects a personal touch and you are more likely to present what the person actually likes. You don’t have to give expensive stuffs as gift as it is not the price that matters but the gesture and the warmth that goes along with giving.

Learn a new recipe: Entertain your guests with a new recipe you learned to prepare instead of  the usual house entertainment they expect. Instead of watching movies all through the holidays, learn new ideas that can make the whole festive period more entertaining.

Keep the house warm with Christmas music not just carols but something that lightens your mood and that of your guests. A new concept or idea for the children’s Christmas party will be highly welcome and should not be out of place. While games may be encouraged, movies should be kept to a minimum as human interactions should be encouraged.
