What to do at home at Christmas? 6 ideas for joint activities with loved ones
Christmas is a magical time that we spend with our closest friends and family. The Christmas tree sparkling with colourful lights, the smell of gingerbread wafting through the air and the presents hidden under spruce branches all create a unique atmosphere.
But what to do at Christmas, once the presents have been unwrapped and the carols sung? How to make this special time full of joy and shared experiences? Here are hints on how to spend Christmas at home with creative entertainment.
What to do on Christmas Day?
Christmas is a time when we slow down, put aside our daily chores and focus on what matters most. As well as savouring traditional dishes and feasting at a lavish Christmas table, it's worth using this time for other activities.
A few days off are the perfect time to develop your interests, read together with your family or have a great time with your beloved pet outdoors. The possibilities are almost endless!
1. a film evening in a festive setting
The long winter evenings, which encourage us to stay indoors, beg us to catch up on our movie nights. What do we need to prepare in order to indulge in these pleasures? All you need is a comfortable outfit, a modular Conffi sofa with soft cushions and a warm blanket made of breathable wool. All of these elements will help us to create a cosy corner for cinema lovers, and the mobile seats will help us to adjust the layout of the rest to suit our current needs.
What if watching your favourite classics together turns into a real movie marathon? After watching Christmas comedies or thrillers, we can prepare a comfortable bed for our guests in the living room. The Todos sofa with a sleeping function will help us to do so.
2. Dinner at the table - the heart of warmth at home
Meals together are an integral part of the Christmas tradition. But how do you accommodate the whole family and invited guests? The solution is a folding table. This table from the 4 You Fresh collection will bring all the family together, while the drawers underneath hold board games and crayons. This way, entertainment ideas for both adults and children will be close at hand. This table turns a Christmas feast into an unforgettable moment full of laughter and shared conversations.
3 Candlelight conversations - here's how to get into the festive spirit
The magical atmosphere of Christmas encourages long conversations and getting closer to each other. And what helps intimate conversations to catch up? Candlelight and the right fragrance to sow a sense of peace and security. Aromatic oils from an elegant diffuser can create such an atmosphere.
The comfortable Alma or Volt armchairs, on the other hand, will keep the small talk going until dawn. Who knows - maybe reminiscing, chatting and looking at old photos together will become our new Christmas tradition? Let's not forget to prepare refreshments!
4 An opportunity to spend time with yourself too
Christmas is the perfect time to finally find time to pursue your passions. Reading books in a comfy armchair, crocheting on a rocker with a cat on your lap or painting pictures - the possibilities are endless. Immerse yourself in the world of your interests and discover hidden talents. Or let's simply, without remorse, get bored and give our daily busy heads a rest.
Christmas time will also allow us to involve our loved ones in our hobbies! Even before Christmas Eve, we can arrange to make handmade presents and wrap packages together. If handicrafts are our passion, let's make simple Christmas decorations ourselves and then involve representatives of the whole family in decorating the house for Christmas.
5. cooking together - a family kitchen full of flavours
Christmas is a time for cooking and baking together. By involving everyone in the household in the preparation of festive dishes, you will create a unique atmosphere and spend time in a joyful and creative way. Why not experiment in the kitchen and prepare dishes from other parts of the world? Cooking is great fun for young and old!
During the festive season, we can also invite friends to join us. The time spent together in the kitchen will provide lots of fun and satisfaction when our favourite food and drinks appear on the table, prepared together in no hurry.
6. singing carols - a musical feast for the whole family
Singing carols together is a beautiful tradition that brings generations together. You can feel the magic of these special days with the sound of your favourite Christmas songs. Or perhaps someone in the household plays an instrument? Let's organise a home recital!
If you get bored of performing, look for a Christmas carol concert in your town or visit a Christmas market to hear Christmas hits in a slightly different setting.
What to do at home at Christmas? Create unforgettable memories
Christmas is a time full of magic and joy. Spent at home, with loved ones, it can be an unforgettable experience. Instead of rushing and stressing, let's choose the tranquillity of moments spent with loved ones. Let's wrap the house in festive colours and enjoy every December day.
If we can't be together on these special days, let's organise a get-together a little earlier. Perhaps baking gingerbread or wrapping presents together will make up for being away later?
