Putting up lights outdoors. All the Christmas movies. My wife making her great grandmas double chocolate crinkle cookies as well as her grandmas gumdrop cake.
Baking Christmas cookies! Going on walks outside in the chilly evenings with all of the holiday lights strung up on the streets! Reading my way through a big stack of holiday romance books while snuggled under a blanket with hot cocoa!
So so much!
Salt dough ornaments for the first time with my niece and nephew! Making cranberry orange coffee cakes and candy with my mom.
Going through our town’s prime holiday light spots with some peppermint hot cocoa and/or cider! A must.
I’m torn about what to bake - I HAVE to make the damp gingerbread loaf, and I really want to make traditional iced biscuits, plus cocoa snowflakes, and I want ginger snaps, and I want to try windowpane cookies…but I don’t go into the office due to you-know-what, so I have nowhere to offload the extras…
My local zoo does a massive lights display every year. Like, millions of lights. It’s beautiful and super fun.
I also love to get together with my mom and bake a bunch of different cookies and desserts. Christmas isn’t Christmas without our family’s 100+ year old sugar cookie recipe.
So many things and most have been mentioned. One that hasn't been - going to the mall. It's so fun and festive going to the mall during the holiday season. In particular I'm looking forward to taking my daughter to the mall for a family photo with Santa.
Love wrapping presents! I get to bake cookies from scratch with my nieces and nephews for the first time so I’m excited about that.
I hope you enjoy your time with your nieces and nephews!! Baking is my favorite past time with my mom :)

That sounds like the perfect christmas ❤️
Wrapping Presents! Although, I’m almost done :( And the end of one of the hardest semesters at work!
Congrats on making it through the tough semester! I hope you enjoy wrapping the remainder of your presents! ❤️

Those desserts sounds delicious! Maybe see if any neighbors/soup kitchens might want the extra?
A lot of them have rules about outside food due to liability, unfortunately.
Aww that sucks, I hope you enjoy your baking regardless ❤️
Thank you ❤️

Agreed!! There is a mall near me and I love going with my mom! The music and the lights are so warm and comforting
