On the road again

Driving a long way for Christmas with the kids? Try finding a book or series on cd at the library and print out coloring or activity sheets related to the story. If you're listening to a true story, print out facts and related material to add to the fun. Some suggestions for books to listen to: Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia, Little House on the Prairie series, Dear America series, Lord of the Rings series, and the American Girl series.

Plan a fun and frugal night out with the family by driving through local neighborhoods after dark to enjoy the lights. If there is a drive-through light garden or light show in your area, check that out too. Bring popcorn packed in individual paper bags and hot chocolate in a thermos to make it special.
