Spending time as a family is always important to us, but this is magnified during the holiday season. There are traditions to be made and enjoyed as a family during this time. On Thanksgiving we always get together with friends and family, and pig out on bad for us food and watch sports all day long! Then there is Christmas, our favorite holiday of the year. We not only celebrate this as a time of giving, but more importantly the birthday of our Savior Jesus Christ. When it is cold outside we love lighting the fireplace, putting up the tree, decorations, and stockings. During the Christmas season there are so many activities to go and enjoy in Indianapolis, and even though it is cold outside we often find ourselves forgetting about that because of the fun we are having, and the memories that we are creating as a family. The holiday season is a time of love and happiness in your family, not about the gifts we received or were able to give, not about if our team won the big game, but about spending time with our family and each other. As we get more mature in our relationship we know that spending time together is one of the best ways to grow and keep our love for each other strong!
•We are always looking for new things to do during the holiday season, trying to start new traditions is important to us because we are a young family.
•We love to decorate together, we turn on some holiday music and have fun!
•Spending time with family & friends is one of our favorite parts of the holiday season.
•We love to watch old holiday movies snuggled up by the fireplace
•We love going out on the town and involve ourselves in all of Indianapolis’s great holiday events. This is a great way for us to spend time together doing new and exciting things!
•Snowball fights are the best, we can’t go one winter without a major snowball fight.
•Something we always take time to do is to reflect on the past years events and memories. This is fun for us because we can grow together from some of the mistakes we made, but also appreciate the victories we had together.
We always get a babysitter for a long evening and go to dinner and Christmas shopping, we make an event out of it- so now we look forward to Christmas shopping every year!
I watched a nice little Christmas movie last week, and the couple exchanged ornaments each year with each other that represented something that had happened that year. I thought that was a terrific way of amplifying the memories on the branches of a Christmas tree.
Traditions are sooooo important!
Cute article! And yes snowball fights are great for the whole family and can count as exercise!
Thank you!
Great tips for couples! Thank so much for sharing!
This is great. I can’t remember the last time we went out just the two of us. We do date nights in when the kids are in bed and I’m so thankful for those but even they haven’t been the same since our last baby. Hoping to snag a date night during the hoilday’s!
I also love watching holiday movies and snuggles!
Watching old holiday movies snuggled up by the fireplace is the best.
Yes! That is definitely one of the best things.
A guy at work told me that he and his wife save all their Christmas cards until Christmas Eve and open them in front of the tree with a bottle of sparkling cider. How cute. Great ideas here.
That is a cute idea saving the Christmas cards til Christmas Eve.
My hubby and I just came back from a date night and we went over all our lists over a yummy dinner at a 24 hour diner! made time for us!
I am with you on snowball fights… we love them too
I always remember the old days. Snow balls are my favorite.

All these are lovely tips! Snow ball fights looks so enjoyable. Spending time with your beautiful family is the most important thing in holiday celebration.
I like watching the old movies. The bishops wife is a favorite. Of course, Charlie Brown and Rudolph are a must.
That’s ironic! Snowball fights is exactly how I ended up falling for my husband. These are great suggestions.
Great tips! Thank you for sharing this! I will keep this in mind!
Thanks for sharing these tips. My husband and I are very guilty of not spending enough quality time together. I am going to have to plan us a special evening.
