Let’s make the last month of 2020 the best month. I know what you’re all thinking: that’s not hard to do considering the last nine months. And it’s not, so let’s have some fun, spread some cheer, and make some memories with our people with a Christmas At Home Bucket List.
Today I’m sharing some fun things to do (mostly) at home during this season. Our family will not get to all of them this month because we are not superheroes. Instead, each family member will choose one thing to do together. Here are some ideas for a Christmas At Home Bucket List.
Christmas At Home Bucket List
Get 3D Christmas light glasses and take a drive to look at lights, hot chocolate in hand of course.
Send a video Christmas card to the ones you love.
Make cinnamon rolls, banana bread, or chocolate chip cookies and deliver to neighbors on a random December morning.
Buy coffee for someone in the coffee drive thru.
Make Christmas cookies and slip a plate into your mailbox for your mail carrier.
Get on Christmas pjs and have a dance party to your favorite Christmas tunes.
Get dollar white mugs and DIY them for Christmas using this easy and cheap tutorial. Give away to grandparents or keep at home for special hot cocoa mugs.
Check out a load of Christmas books from the library and read them by the Christmas tree. Bonus points: Have a picnic while you read under the twinkly lights.
Write and decorate festive letters to service men and women thanking them for serving our country.
Learn to sing a few Christmas songs. Record your littles singing and send to Grandma and Grandpa.
Send a mini Christmas tree and a heartfelt note to an elderly relative who may not be able to see loved ones this year.
Each night before bedtime, listen to a Christmas audio book. A few to choose from: A Christmas Carol, The Nutcracker, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Candle in the Window.
Slow down one night each week. Turn off the television, put the phones away, and gaze at the Christmas tree with the ones you love. A little Silent Night playing in the background wouldn’t hurt.
Make an easy bird feeder and watch the birds enjoy their Christmas present from the window.
Make a decadent meal together as a family. Each person chooses one dish and either makes the dish or helps make the dish. Get dressed up and end the night with a fancy dance party by the tree.
Choose one Christmas movie no one has seen before and watch together with popcorn and Christmas M&Ms.
Roast marshmallows in the fireplace. My kids love the colorful Lucky Charms marshmallows.
Bundle up and go for a walk outside to look for pinecones. Fresh air can do wonders this time of year.
Make gift bags with colorful notes for residents at a nursing home.
Christmas is here and coming to life around us. What is on your Christmas At Home Bucket List?
I love your suggestions, Vanessa! We’ve had the grandkids quite a lot lately, since schools are closed. I’ll keep your post handy! Have a wonderful rest-if-the-year!♥️
That sounds wonderful, Kim! I’m sure they are loving their time with you and vice versa!! 🙂
