- Draw names and for a week become a secret Santa for another immediate family member. Plan special things to do each day without being found out. The days fill with fun, suspense, surprises, and good deeds, helping to create the true spirit of Christmas.
- Feature a different country each week; study its traditions; eat something that is part of that nation's cuisine.
- Write some gifts to Jesus and hang them on the tree -things individuals need to improve on (such as breaking bad habits and forming good ones). Once a week each family member adds a new gift to concentrate on that coming week.
- Hold a weekly Christmas letter night. Make a list of those to whom you wish to write letters. Create or purchase Christmas stationery, and have each family member add a note to each letter written.
