Winter Bucket List
We are now officially a few weeks into Winter. The vibrant foliage of Autumn turned grey and barren and the crisp air gives way to a frosty wind chill. Woollen hats, boots and mittens become everyday wear and with the days getting shorter and colder it can be hard to remain optimistic and cheerful about winter. However, even if winter is not your favourite season, there are lots of way to make this chilly season a little less gloomy. Lucky for you, we have compiled a list of some of our favourite winter activities to help you and your family enjoy winter a little more this year.

- Go sledding
- Decorate a gingerbread house
