Have fun during the holidays

Here are some ways to brighten up a long winter.

• Have a potluck dinner with family or friends. Everyone brings some food to share.

• Go for a walk in your area. Look at the holiday lights.

• Go for a nature walk. Look for animal tracks and birds.

• Try making a gingerbread house. Decorate it with candy and icing. You can buy a kit at a grocery store.

• Visit a greenhouse. Poinsettias are popular holiday flowers. What colour do you like best?
