Fun Things to Do in Winter
There are plenty of places to visit Santa. The Bass Pro Shop usually has a wonderful setup to look like the North Pole with animatronic elves, coloring activities, a mailbox to the North Pole, toys to play with, scavenger hunts, and a free pic with ol' Saint Nick himself! Plus, depending on where you live, the winter brings snow! Build a snowman, make snow angels, go sledding, build a snow fort or igloo and have a snowball fight! When you're tired out, make snow cream and sit by a fire and watch your favorite Christmas movies...or if it's AFTER Christmas, there's plenty of non-Christmasy, snow-related movies. For a suggestion, I'm sticking with Chevy Chase on "Funny Farm."
