From the article: 21 Things to Do During Christmas Break
When school lets out for holiday break, sometimes we are so busy preparing for Christmas, Hanukkah or New Year's, it actually takes an effort to have a little fun. But kids know the holiday break is supposed to be fun. So let's share some ideas for holiday break things to do. Share Your Traditions
Holiday Break
- Hey!! Do u know about India? Here the break time is Hot Summer.One and half month on break for kids. All us enjoy the mango season at our maternal house.That is most of the families travel to their home town.Specially the moms and children. They do shopping, travelling to nearby places, relaxing, visiting places of relatives,eating lotz of mangoes as its mango season. Its fun in India.:)

Organize photos
- Great list of things to do during break! We take some time as a family to organize the photo album. It's good fun to see how the kids have grown over the year. Also, thank you notes to family and friends for the presents--that usually takes a good afternoon between the writing and the drawing pictures ;-). Happy holidays!

Recovering from Christmas
- This year, our family went on a family reunion cruise over Christmas and we got back on Dec. 26. So I'm spending this week putting everything away and getting ready for New Year's. We also have company visiting for two weeks beginning Dec. 30th, so I'm simultaneously preparing for that. It's a busy year this year!

always a hit
- pj day around my house is always a winner during school break. No, pressure to go anywhere, and it is fun to relax with the kids. We usually make it a movie day with popcorn, and baking. It is just a nice to hang out and enjoy each other.

Bake, Bake and Decorate
- We make lots of cookies and candies, build and decorate gingerbread houses and since my daughter has become a teenager, she has taken over the decorating of the house. She's really good at it and is proud when people walk in the door and say how pretty the tree is or how nice the house looks.

It's a hard time!
- Since we're Jewish we have absolutely nothing to do and on some days we can't even go anywhere. So we've learned to make our own fun. We have Wii bowling competitions, we made collages from old magazines one day, each day we do a 15 minute clean up/reorganization (Like you suggested.). At the end we celebrate with a movie. We also do finger puppet shows, make our own pizzas, throw a fabulous new year's party...
