7 Enjoyable Things to Do During the Holidays

Everybody loves the holidays especially when you get to spend it with the whole family. The thought of being away from work and finally having the opportunity to take time out with friends and family to just relax and have fun. Here are some fun bonding activities that you might want to try to do with your loved ones to spend the holidays with the best people in your life:

1. DVD Marathon - Turn your the living room into your very own home theater and rent a number of DVD's to while the night away. All you need is some popcorn, beers or sodas, and the company of your loved ones. You can either choose to rent some DVDs or buy those that already come in bulk. Either way, this would surely be a fun and very affordable way of enjoying the long holidays.

2. Have a baking session - Are you thinking of a fun way wherein you can bond with the kids? Well, you might want to try baking with them. Baking is definitely an exciting thing to do with them since you can let them work on the mixtures and they can also learn how cookies, muffins, and cake, among others are being made. You might even get to discover that your kids have a knack for baking and cooking. They might also discover a grea hobby in the process.

3. Go on a trip - This is perhaps one of the first things that would come to mind when a long holiday is coming. Just make sure you plan ahead of time so that all you have to worry a day before are the things you need to bring with you. You also need to make sure that the place where you will be spending your holidays in is safe if you are bringing the kids with you.

4. Redecorate the home - Even redecorating a room is already enough. Take the holidays as an opportunity to finally pay attention to your home. You might think that it's more of a task but it isn't. Since it's your home or your room, this activity is definitely one great way to get your creativity all fired up for something that you really like. In the end it will turn out to be a great accomplishment for you.

5. Host a barbecue party - Have your friends come over during the long holidays and have some lunch for them. Do it barbecue style especially if you have a backyard. You can even tell them to bring their kids over and then consider setting up some mini pools where the kids could swim as you and the other adults chat away.

6. Go camping - Ever tried roughing it up in the wild? Parks these days are made safer than ever and this can also be a fun bonding activity with the kids as you let them experience first hand what it's like to go on a camping.
