What to do at Christmas, how many times have we asked ourselves that and ended up doing the usual board games or bingo. Here are some free ideas for spending the holidays in an alternative way.
Christmas is the most beautiful and magical time of the year. When the month of December begins, one of the thoughts that nags everyone is: what to do at Christmas? We all know, at Christmas time we stay at home with family or friends and there are so many alternatives to spend time with friends during the holidays. After the Christmas Eve dinner or the lunch of December 25th usually we all play together, but in the end we always find ourselves doing the same things, in fact it’s difficult to find something really original and different to have fun together.
We have selectedsome original experiences for you, most of these are generally sold online at a cost ranging from £15 to £30, but in this article we have only selected things to do for Christmas for free.
