This can be your chance to try out a new holiday recipe! It can be a new cake, an untested cookie recipe, or fresh, spiced bread. If it's a hit, you can bring it back for an encore next year!

Christmas is in a few days. Routines make kids feel secure, so if you need to make a change, give them plenty of warning. Say, "Heads up, kiddos! Here's what's going to be different on Christmas!" Then stick to the new plan!
Go ahead, create your own, private chocolate stash. Dark chocolate is reputedly good for you. When you have an "off" day, break off a square and enjoy. You will melt your stress away, thanks to its antioxidant flavonoids. Bon Appetit!
Cocooning is about spending meaningful time with family members. Try a movie for just you and your daughter. Perhaps bake brownies with your son. Wrap gifts with your spouse. Then hang an ornament on the tree to celebrate your "cocoon" experience fun. Good memories are forever!
You're going to have those "inside snow days," like it or not. Make plans, now. Hide little items around the house, toy figurines or handwritten notes. (Plastic Easter eggs work fine!) Send the kiddos on a scavenger hunt. The one who finds the most can pick what to have for dinner or the movie for the night! You can even team up a younger sibling with an older one as a team building opportunity!
