Plan your Christmas date
Tonight is all about the wonder of Christmas, together. Check these off ahead of time.
Under the mistletoe
Stand under the mistletoe (or just pretend there's some above you). You know what happens next.
A seven-second kiss to start your Christmas date.
Then bundle up and head out to see the lights.Then pour your cocoa. The showdown is next.
Christmas lights bingo
Tap a square every time you spot one. Get four in a row for BINGO, or go for a blackout!
Cookie decorating showdown
Three rounds, one cookie each. After each round, pick the winner together. (It's okay to be a little biased.)
Christmas past & present
Take turns answering, and remember the reason for the season.
"Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord!"LUKE 2:11 (BSB)
The $10 gift exchange
Take turns opening your gifts. Tell your spouse why you picked it.
Then give your spouse a gift that costs nothing. Each of you finishes this sentence:
"The gift I want to give you this year is…"
Examples: more date nights, a weekly walk together, putting my phone away at dinner.

By the tree

- What was your favorite moment of our Christmas date?
- What are you most looking forward to this Christmas?
- How can I make this season feel less busy and more special for you?
Let the passenger pick the music, so the driver keeps eyes on the road.
When you get home, turn on the tree and end the night with one more kiss by its glow.End the night with one more kiss by the glow of the tree.
