ReplyDeleteThese are some fun ideas. We like to host a post-holiday tea party with all of my daughter's friends. We either have it at our house and she gets to pull out her tea sets or we head on over to a local tea house or hotel that offers tea parties. They still have the Holiday decorations up but it's much less busy than before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteWe also like to pitch a tent in the house during Holiday break. We pretend we are camping but do it within the comfort of the warm indoors.
