Whether it’s taking the family to a well-decorated town square to do some shopping; going to a garden, park, or farm with tons of lights on the trees, or doing something festive and fun like outdoor ice skating, a nice evening out together at Christmastime is something everybody will be able to look back on fondly for years to come. You could even turn this one into an evening without the kids. Drop them off at grandma’s, set up a playdate, or hire a babysitter and have an evening out with just you two, shopping, skating, or looking at lights. (It’s important to take time for each other every once in a while!) If you have time, you could even do one evening with everyone and one alone.
