Spruce up your presents with printable gift tags or organize your holiday entertaining with place cards. These will add a homey feeling to your holiday spread while keeping the family engaged during times when you have to get things done around the house.

Christmas coloring pages and word scramble
Last but not least — and most exciting for the kids — are these fun Christmas coloring pages. They make for a great indoor activity when the weather outside is a tad too frightful (or when you need to sneak away to help Santa wrap presents). Kids can sit by the fire while coloring Santa Claus, reindeer, snowmen, and carolers. Or, the whole family can join in on the fun word scramble. See who can find words like “reindeer" and “stocking" the fastest. Perhaps the winner gets to open a present early...
