Today we're going to talk about how to plan a family getaway to nature for Christmas, one that allows you to disconnect from the routine, enjoy the company of your loved ones and, above all, celebrate Christmas in a different way.
Why take a family getaway to nature for Christmas?
There are many reasons why a family getaway to nature at Christmas is a good idea. Here are some of them:
- It is a way to disconnect from the daily routine. We will agree that Christmas days are very intense, right? School holidays, making hands and sleeves for conciliation, etc. There are many preparations to be made, many obligations to fulfill and sometimes there is no time left to enjoy the family. A getaway to nature will allow you to put aside everyday worries and focus on what really matters: being together.
- It is a way to enjoy nature. Christmas is a very special time for nature. Gaze at the trees, observe the animals and enjoy the landscape, dressed in its best colors... A getaway to nature will allow you to enjoy all this with your family.
- It's a way to celebrate Christmas in a different way. Christmas is a time of celebration, but it is also a time of traditions. An escape to nature will allow you to celebrate Christmas in a different, more original and more sustainable way. You can take the opportunity to collect some natural elements, such as pine cones or branches, to finish making the Christmas decorations.
If you're thinking of taking a family getaway to nature for Christmas, here are some tips:
- Plan your getaway in advance. Country hotels and outdoor leisure facilities are very popular at Christmas, so it's important to book in advance.
- Consider the ages of your children. If you have small children, it is important to choose a destination that is adapted to their needs.
- Wear comfortable and weather-appropriate clothing. Christmas can be a very cold time, so it is important to wear warm and comfortable clothes.
Activities for a family escape to nature for Christmas
There are many activities you can do on a family nature getaway at Christmas. Here are some ideas:
- Walk through nature. Nature walks are a great way to enjoy the scenery and exercise. Observing, conversing and also letting nature provide the soundtrack is very beneficial for the little ones in the house, and for the adults. You can come up with observation games, during the walk, or suggest finding small treasures such as leaves, stones or other natural elements that you can then use to make crafts that you can use as Christmas decorations.
- Visit forests, natural parks or reserves. Nature is a great classroom, so you can use your break to visit forests, nature parks or reserves and learn about the local flora and fauna.
- Doing leisure activities in nature. There are many outdoor leisure activities that you can do as a family, such as skiing, hiking, biking or visiting an animal park.
- Making meals together, without having to cook. A great way to connect with family is to have the opportunity to make meals together, without the pressure of having to prepare the Christmas menu.
- Read Christmas stories. Christmas stories always create a magical atmosphere. You can read them at night, before going to sleep.
- Make crafts: Collecting and painting pine cones, making garlands with natural elements or even putting together a sustainable Christmas tree with branches you find along the way are activities that will connect the family and make you have a good time.
