Winter is a time of home comfort. When there is a blizzard outside the window, it's a good time to sit at home in the warmth of the family and spend pleasant evenings with games or movies.
The atmosphere in the house in winter is very important. It creates the mood and gives you the opportunity to rest your body and soul.

And, of course, the love of loved ones.
By the way, the variety of winter drinks is simply huge. The main thing is that they should be hot and with vitamins.
You can make gorgeous preparations for a vitamin-rich winter tea right now:

At the right moment, simply take out a portion of the frozen mass and pour boiling water over it. The perfect vitamin drink for a winter evening is ready!
With such preparations you can experiment as you like. You can mix cranberries with cinnamon and honey or any other berries, fruits or spices to taste.

Winter is a time of holidays and magic. So don't forget about illumination. Hang garlands with warm lights around the house. Light scented candles.
They'll create a special atmosphere. And then add - a little magic....
Winter evenings with the family
There are tons of ideas for family vacations:
- Watching movies and cartoons
- Reading books
- Board games
Or just build a house out of pillows and blankets and share secrets.
You can make up your own games and even make them a family tradition.
You can make analogs of well-known games and adapt them to your family. For example, make a quiz in which you answer questions about your family.
Such games will not only be an interesting pastime, but will also help to get closer and get to know each other better. And the organization can be entrusted to children. Most often they are happy to take on such tasks.
Separately, you can set aside one or more evenings in December for holiday planning and home decorating.
With young children, you can write letters to Santa Claus or Santa Claus. Have an evening of magic.
You can't do without the goodies here, either. And what could be better for a cozy winter evening than a fragrant pie?
You can make a simple sponge cake or bake a pie with a filling. Be sure to involve the whole family in this activity. This way, any dish will turn out much tastier.
Don't forget about winter spices, the main one being cinnamon. Its smell creates a special atmosphere in the house and even helps to relax the nervous system.
Do some holiday crafts. Create handmade ornaments with your children.
But you can create crafts with your own hands not only before the holidays. This is a great idea for family vacations.
And for those who want a change of scenery, a trip to a winter forest cabin is perfect. For example, at a recreation center. In a small warm house in the middle of nature, like nowhere else you feel the warmth of loved ones and coziness.
If you catch warm weather there, it will be a great opportunity to go skiing or on the slide. And after active games in the cold, it will be even cozier to spend the evening in the warmth.
Winter is a time of contemplation and tranquility. When snow is falling outside, you begin to appreciate home coziness and warmth even more.
Winter is not a time to put life on pause while waiting for spring. It has its own beauty.
It's important to utilize the special atmosphere of winter for new experiences.
Don't miss out this winter.
