Festive times call for family time! Here in WA State, apparently the average amount of time spent with family is around 9 + hours doing festive stuffs. Source
How can we maximize fun with the whole family?
1. Holiday Shopping!
Bring the whole family out for your shopping outing. Siblings need to purchase for each other? Why not let them scatter and find some cool things to purchase for the siblings our aunts and uncles, would also help with teaching how to budget!

3. Mission Ridge Ski and Board Resort
Have the kiddos learned out to ski? When was the last time you hit the slopes? Maybe you don’t do so well in the snow (like me), luckily there’s a really awesome Lodge to visit and sip on some yummy hot chocolate!

4. Hit up the Movie Theaters!
Seems like the box offices are becoming popular again with Hit movies like “Taylor Swifts: The Eras Tour,” and “Barbie,” why not go catch a fun flick with the whole family. Might be a nice break from all the talking and entertaining being done!
5. Board Games / Cards
Here’s a fun idea! Get a tournament going of board games and or card games! Play them throughout the month of December and have your “championship round” be on Christmas day. Sounds fun to me!
