 This season, treat yourself and your significant other to some special and memorable holiday traditions.

  Go see the Nutcracker-a Christmas-themed ballet which will warm your hearts. It will get you in the spirit of Christmas and make for fun conversation with your loved one once you’ve seen it. You’ll be entertained by the beautiful music written by the famous Tchaikovsky and the vibrant scenery and costumes. Prime locations to see the Nutcracker in the area include Philadelphia and Princeton.

 Take in the light show-Visit Newtown, PA for this spectacular display of lights. Drive through this long path of glowing lights including scenes from the Twelve Days of Christmas, famous t.v. characters, ships, animals and a variety of others. After your fun journey, treat yourselves to a cup of hot cocoa.

  Make a gingerbread house--Buy a kit for you and your loved one and build a house together. Have fun decorating but try not to eat all the tempting candy! You can purchase one of these at your local grocery store.

 Bake cookies! Visit the grocery store with your other half and purchase Pillsbury cookie dough, icing and holiday sprinkles. Roll out the dough at home, get out the cookie cutters and follow the Pillsbury baking instructions. Enjoy your treats together with a cup of hot cocoa. Get out the board games and enjoy yourselves by the fire.

Christmas movie marathon: Watch classics including Elf, Polar Express, The Night Before Christmas, Home Alone, It’s a Wonderful Life, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, A Charlie Brown Christmas and many more.
