2. Play Board Games

If you miss the days when your family used to play board games together, take advantage of the weather to rekindle that tradition. Break out a deck of cards or unpack any of the games you brought along for a moment like this!

3. Have a Snowball FightOlder couple playing chess in front of the fireplace

You don’t have to stay indoors all day long on a snowy day. Bundle up and brave the cold for an hour or so — just enough time to have a snowball fight like you used to do when you were a kid!

4. Watch Holiday Movies

Turn on the TV in the winter, and you can find any number of holiday movies playing, or pop your favorites from home into the DVD player. What better way to get into the spirit of the season than watching How The Grinch Stole Christmas or It’s a Wonderful Life?

5. Tell Stories Together

Making your own entertainment can be as much fun as watching someone else’s. Cuddle up together around the fireplace and tell your favorite stories, or make up your own and see who can write the best one.
