A Dozen Things to do on a Snow Day

But what to do, you ask? Here’s a list to get you started:

Have a video game fest with your kids, grandkids or with your honey, get the junk food close and prepare to have sore thumbs and good memories.
Make a new recipe. If you are tired of having the same ten meals over and over, this is the time to try something yummy and new.
Groom your pet. They need it, you never have time to do it, it will help you bond and lower your blood pressure!
Clean a closet or that junk drawer you can barely close. Fill up a box to give away to those who need it more than you. Bonus, there is a direct coalition between de-cluttering and losing weight.
Do some online holiday shopping, no rush, no stress, no crowds – ahhhh. Bonus for buying gifts that benefit a good cause like World Vision, Silomn Mission, Ten Thousand Villages etc.
Play cards, crib or an old-fashioned board game. You remember those, don’t you? Dust them off!
Google something fun – like tongue twisters, optical illusions, simple origami. Why – to do something different and to stretch you mind and.
Create some art. Paint, draw or YouTube some cool nail art to try. It doesn’t have to be good.
Put on that old exercise DVD – you might get re-inspired.
Go out and play in the snow .
Write an article on your perspective of living in your area of town and send it to your community paper – you could be a published columnist before you know it.
Stay in your pajamas all day, don’t even shower – I won’t tell anyone, go have a nap. It only happens once or twice a year – go ahead, you can do it.

Feel free to add to the list and/or pick one of these things and enjoy the benefits of a snow day (or an imaginary one)!
