My version of the top 10 things to do for christmas

I was browsing the internet searching for a blogging idea when I stumbled upon this article : Top 10 things to do in bed this Christmas . This was clearly written with Married couples who have no children in mind. But seriously think about it. How many married couples do you know that don't have children?? I can tell you how many I know and that is exactly 1 and not by choice. Probably 90% of married couple out there have children. As we all know children change a relationship and finding time to make a connection with your spouse can be difficult at times. But sharing your lives with your children is a connection you will remember longer than any rumble in the sack. So here is a more realistic Top 10 things to do this christmas:

10. Share christmas stories of your childhoods. This you can do with your spouse and children. You Can reminisce and learn things you may or may not have known about your spouse and the children will enjoy hearing about traditions their parents had as children.

9. Make new traditions. Take a tradition from your childhoods that you both share and pass it on to your own children. Or make a new one up all together. For instance Pick one day (the same one) every year and go pick out your tree together as a family or decorate it together.

8. Snow ball fights can be foreplay. If you think about it adrenaline is pumping, you are letting loose and having fun. Hold on to the bliss you felt and rock it in the bedroom. Or after the kids are in bed rock it in a snow bank outside. It will be cold but the hotter you move it will melt the snow ;)

7. Snowmen, Igloos and Hot cocoa Parties. Need I say more. 

6. Christmas Cards. Have the kids help you make them personal. Or do a christmas family photo 

5. Make Ornaments that have everyone's name on them. A crafting family's dream. The kids will be proud of their work and when the kids are happy the family as a unit is happy.

4. Snow Day! Make the most of the bad weather and the cancelled school. A great opportunity to reconnect with your kids and spouse.

3. Visit Santa Claus. 

2. Write your Christmas wish list as a family.
