Fun Activities:
Pull out the warm hats, scarves, and mittens – it’s time to build a snowman. This activity is fun for the whole family and will be a necessity for the young ones. If you are able to plan ahead, “snowman kits” can be purchased that include everything for building a snowman except the snow (such as corn-cob pipe, button nose, coal for the eyes, etc…). If you want to be a little more traditional (and perhaps practical), look around the house for large buttons, an old hat, and a scarf. A snowman contest is a great activity if you have neighborhood kids that need an activity to keep them busy.
Make sure to have some indoor activities for when the cold becomes too much to bare. Pull out the board games and movies for hours of warm entertainment.
Hostess Tips:
If there is a chance of snow in the upcoming days, remember to stock up on essential cooking ingredients. Also, if roads are closed or hard to maneuver (which is common in the South) – be thoughtful of neighbors who may not have planned ahead or elderly neighbors who might need some assistance or just a warm bowl of soup.
