Host a Tree-Trimming Party
Visit Christmas Lights in the Neighborhood
Everyone knows which neighbors have the good lights every year and which ones don't. Get into the spirit by taking the family on a walk through town and checking out this year's contenders for best light setup. Who knows, maybe your house will make the list.
Deliver Presents in Person
Sure, it's easy to just click and order online, but delivering a present in person is a great way to connect with friends and get them into the holiday spirit, too.
Spread Holiday Cheer to Sick Kids
In the olden days (aka when you were a kid), the holiday season meant volunteers spreading cheer to sick children who were unable to be home for the holidays. So, grab some books or put on your Santa hat, and help those little ones celebrate, too.
Go Christmas Caroling|Go Christmas Caroling
Even if you don't have the best voice in the neighborhood, you'll have a blast with family and friends as you go door to door singing "The Little Drummer Boy" to your heart's content. Who knows? You might even get a Christmas cookie or two as a tip.

Build a Gingerbread House|Build a Gingerbread House
Kids love to build gingerbread houses. It's a super simple, low-tech way to get into the holiday spirit and pass time on a chilly winter day. Plus, let's face it, you eat more than you build. That's the best kind of project there is.

When it comes to giving gifts, it really is the thought that counts, right? And there's nothing more thoughtful than making a gift. If it was good enough for your ancestors, it's good enough for you.
