ADVICE

Make A Holiday Fun List

  • Make a holiday fun list of activities you want to do this season and share it with family and friends.
  • Put preferred weekends on the calendar early so events actually happen instead of being forgotten.
ANECDOTE

From Wish List To Scheduled Weekends

  • Laura describes creating an annual holiday fun list that previously was just a wish list of activities like Longwood Gardens and the Nutcracker.
  • She realized she needed to assign specific weekends in November and December so the family could actually attend events.
ADVICE

Use Extended Dates And Flexible Events

  • Check event end dates and include early January options because many displays run past December 25th.
  • Schedule flexible activities like baking and pajama days on rough calendar slots to ensure they happen.
