Christmas Ideas to do at Home

Christmas can be an expensive time and this year. I’ve put together some free or cheaper Mumbler ideas that you can do with your family during this year’s festive season….

1) Activity Advent Calendar – Instead of buying an advent calendar, local mum Jo Whittaker has come up with this fantastic idea for an activity advent calendar – each day of advent she has an idea for a festive activity to do with her family, find them here.

2) Christmas Colouring – I’ve popped some free colouring downloads to make cards, sheets and gift tags on Mumbler, find them all here.

3) Christmas Crafts – I’ve put loads of Christmas Craft ideas to do at home, including home-made decorations, find them here.

4) Christmas Party Games – There are lots of low/no cost games you can play at home, find some ideas here.

5) Christmas Films – I’ve suggested 24 films for the 24 days of Christmas, plus the channels you can find them on, here.
