Do something different

Spend a Bit of "Surprise Time" with People Special To You

In the next two weeks, why not do something fun(ny) and unexpected with those you care about? If you have children who are still at home or easy to reach, consider getting silly - just for the fun of it!

It doesn't matter what you do - build a Lego castle, go bowling or roller skating just for fun. Have a paper airplane contest (look up great designs on the internet) or make snow angels. Bake cookies in silly shapes...or if your children are adults, go to a museum or concert together, have a picnic, rent a canoe...

Or, find a special friend with whom you can do something different and fun and "forget" for a day that you are both too busy.

The time you spend connecting with people who are special in your life can light up your winter days (via halliwell).
