Can't wait until Christmas? Here are 25 activities and ideas for you to do while you await Christmas Day. Do them alone or with your family and friends.
1. Make your own Advent Calendar
Create your own advent calendar and fill each day with edibles like candy, nuts, sampler teas/coffees, and dried fruits. Each day open one up, and enjoy the tasty treat. You can fill it additionally with fun messages, bible verses, Christmas stories...anything you'd like. Here is an easy example of one made from a simple muffin tin, the treats set inside each tin and then covered with printable numbers, and hung up with ribbon.
2. Go Christmas Tree Shopping
3. Put up your Christmas Decorations
4. Create a few alternative Christmas trees
Make them and display them somewhere else inside your home/apartment using all sorts of materials other than what's used for a typical tree. Be as creative with your source material as possible.
