I am, but it’s a struggle. My Christmas to-do list always threatens overwhelm me, but I’m determined not to let it get the upper hand! I want to have fun with my husband during the “most wonderful time of the year,” not work my fingers to the bone every day, then drop into bed in complete exhaustion.

If you’re feeling the same way, I encourage you to first check out our companion article, 5 ways to have fun with your spouse this Christmas.

Then use the list below to plan 3 or 4 fun activities with your husband over the next few weeks. (You can even combine Christmas tasks with fun – my husband and I went out to dinner tonight, then did some Christmas shopping.) Here are 25 ideas to help you get started:

• Visit a walk-through or drive-through Christmas lights display.

• Go ice skating.

• Take a walk or a hike.

• Grab some massage oil (or coconut oil or lotion) and give him or her a massage.

• Play Christmas music, put your feet up, and enjoy a glass of wine or cup of hot chocolate.

• Make love.

• Make cookies.

• Play Christmas music and wrap gifts together.

• Watch a classic Christmas movie.

• Work together to get the house or yard ready for company.

• Make up some new sexy rules for the game.

• Play some romantic music and dance together.

• Wear festive holiday lingerie.

• Straighten up your bedroom, light some scented candles (be careful with them!), and spend some time touching and enjoying each other.

  2. […] Plan 4 fun things to do together between now and New Year’s Day. Get out your calendars, sit down together, and plan at least 4 fun things the two of you want to do together over the next couple of weeks. Maybe you want to see the new Star Wars movie, walk through a Christmas lights display, go ice skating, or just sit down and enjoy a glass of wine together. Or maybe you want to combine fun with a little bit of getting-things-done. Like wrapping gifts while watching a Christmas movie or working outside to spruce up the yard before guests arrive. My husband and I are taking that approach this week; we plan to go out for a nice dinner on Thursday night, then do some Christmas shopping. We both hate crowded malls, so we’re hoping that shopping later at night will be less stressful than shopping during the day! After Christmas we plan to take a day trip and enjoy exploring a new place together. What would you and your husband like to do? Pick some things you’d each enjoy and put them on your calendar. (And make a note of anything you need to do to make them happen, like asking a friend to keep the kids for a few hours.) Need some ideas to get started? Check out this list of 25 fun things to do with your spouse during the Christmas season. […]
