5. Snap family photos each month and create a calendar with a different family photo each month to send to family and friends who can’t be with you around the year.
6. Plan a yearly family activity for the Christmas season: It could be picking out the tree, tobogganing down a nearby hill, even be heading to the zoo —anything that makes the whole family’s interest.
