Time is the most precious gift of all (aside from Jesus, of course). Don’t let this Christmas season slip by without spending quality time with your loved ones. 

Our resident “life of the party,” Mama Hath (Angie Hathaway), has compiled a list of fun activities to enjoy with your family and friends to make this a season to remember. 

  • Go to a Christmas Parade
  • Dress in your PJs, grab some popcorn and drive through local Christmas light displays
  • Serve at a homeless shelter
  • Make Christmas cards for shut-ins
  • Have a Christmas movie night
  • Decorate Christmas cookies
  • Have fun with the Elf on the Shelf

  • Have a candy cane scavenger hunt
  • Serve a hot chocolate bar
  • Decorate bedrooms for Christmas
