Christmas Rush

You know how easy it is to get caught up in the christmas rush. The main thing you need to do is relax, take some time to yourself. Some of the ideas that my family thought of was sitting down on the couch and drink some hot coco while reading or doing puzzles in a puzzle book. Also many of you are stuck for a present to give to your family. At our house we don’t buy presents for our mom and dad. We do something called secret santa. Thats were you either make or give something of your own to the other family member. There are also lots of crafts you could do with your family such as Making a snowman craft, or you could go swimming in an indoor pool.
