In Bear Country, winter is one of our favorite times of year, and each December we get excited for all the season has to offer: evenings snuggled around the fire, steaming mugs of hot cocoa, fun outdoor activities and, of course, Christmas! Here are some of the things we’ll be celebrating this month:
-
Snow!
-
Choosing the perfect Christmas tree
-
An excuse for silly hats
-
Sleigh rides through the countryside
-
The annual Bear Country ice sculpture contest
-
Gingerbread Bears
-
Hanging festive decorations
-
Sledding!
Though hopefully with better luck than Papa Bear…
-
Setting up the Nativity scene
-
Delicious home-cooked meals
-
The story of The Nutcracker
-
Listening to carolers
-
Baking cookies for Santa Bear
…if Honey doesn’t polish them off first! -
Ice skating on frozen ponds
-
And spending quality time with the whole family!
