Bundle up by the fireplace while sipping hot chocolate, surrounded by your favorite christmas decorations, and watch a comforting holiday movie. Here are some of the highest ranked Christmas movies if you don’t know which to watch:
Go to Dickens On Main
Something that happens every year here in Boerne is Dickens On Main. Dickens happens the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving. It brings Christmas spirit with the Christmas parade and the nights of Christmas lights; but the thing that people look forward to most is the Christmas parade. People crowd the sidewalks, watching all the holiday and business floats, decorated with pretty lights, pass out candy to the kids. Here is more information on Dickens.

Baking Holiday Treats
The holidays aren’t the same without some delicious treats like cookies. They are simple yet fun to make, and you can make them by yourself or with friends. Even better when they are decorated for Christmas.
If you are feeling decorative, you can bake or decorate a gingerbread house. Some of the most fun times are when you compete with others to see whose gingerbread house is better. These are some gingerbread house ideas guaranteed to help you beat your friends.
When you are sitting by the fireplace or out making s’mores, there is always something you need to feel even cozier: hot chocolate! This is essential for the cold and is simple for you to make at home or on the go. Here are some hot chocolate recipes depending on your preference:
Ice skating
Whether or not you are traveling, something that is always fun is ice skating. Feel the cold air on your face as you skate around the slippery ice. In Texas, we don’t get snow, but in San Antonio, the ice skating rink is the closest thing we have. Tickets usually average around $14, not including drinks and food. Here is the address just in case you want to try it out:

Go to Drive Through Christmas Lights
If you are the type of person who likes staying in the comfort of your car, then going to a drive-through Christmas light show would be perfect for you. Sitting in your car, listening to Christmas music, and watching pretty lights; what could be better than that?
