- Baking cookies– The way to anyone’s heart is through their stomach. What better way to bond than baking and decorating Christmas cookies? Spend the rest of the night eating the whole batch, or packaging them up for friends and family. (Image Credit)

- Pick out a live tree– You haven’t truly experienced Christmas if you’ve been putting up a plastic tree all these years. There’s a lot of fun to be had in going to a Christmas Tree Farm, strapping it to the top of your car, and hanging ornaments on the real branches. (Image Credit)
