Imagine… it’s the perfect snow day or lazy afternoon during
winter break for the kids; the snow is blissfully falling outside as you sip
your hot chocolate in front of a crackling fire. This typical holiday scene is
almost always too good to be true, often interrupted by frantic children or the
electricity going out. But you still crave that moment of winter serenity where
you can finally enjoy the beauty of the holiday season. Here are a few simple ways
to enjoy peace this winter.
Winter Wonderland – Create your own winter wonderland in
your home to keep your kids’ imagination flowing and entertained. Snow days are
the perfect time to build forts with bed sheets and read books by flashlight.
Christmas Lights –
Prepare beforehand, for snowstorms and blizzards by keeping extra water
bottles, batteries, and blankets around the house. Early preparation can make
that disastrous power outage all the less stressful.
Frosty the Snowman – …Should stay outside! All too often our
floors become sopping wet with melted snow from snow boots trekking across the
hallway. Invest in a shoe and coat rack and keep them, and the wet boots and
coats, in your garage in order to prevent unnecessary mopping after shoveling
and frolicking outside.
Chestnuts Roasting – Whether by an open fire or you are
decorating gingerbread houses, cooking and baking are the perfect holiday activities
to keep you and your family’s faces smiling and your stomach’s full.
Whatever activities you choose to do this winter, we hope
that it brings happiness and joy to you and your family!
