Christmas is a time when members must play together and eat together. It is not a time to be alone. With busy lifestyles that families have, many have lost the rhythm of doing things together. With people spending an inordinately long time alone on their devices, Christmas is a good time to pull back and bond.
Here are 3 activities your family might enjoy doing together:
1. Work on a large jigsaw
This is for families which might include kids interested in jigsaw puzzles. Buy a large one or you could even try out a 3d puzzle ball. Many of these puzzle offer a way to make it permanent once complete.
2. Cook up a delicious big meal
This is definitely for families which enjoy food. The whole family can participate and decide on a menu. Yes, it could be a little off beat, but then as long as it gives everyone a chance to participate, it is a great way to bond!
3. Visit relatives you otherwise would not
As our lives get busier, we become more and more of islands. We cut out all those parts which feel are extraneous. This is okay for us adults, but kids need the comfort of large families. They must strike friendships and establish long term relationships of their own.
So try one of these three this year and Merry Christmas!
