One of the most universally loved things about Christmas must be the delicious food. People are spending less time in the kitchen due to busy lives but be sure to take some time out to enjoy making things. There is nothing more festive than getting together and making a traditional homemade dessert for after dinner. Think mince pies, Christmas cakes and a boozy Christmas pudding. Photo: James Hardisty

Potato stamps - making personal Christmas cards is a lovely touch and an old standing tradition to pass on Christmas well wishes. Potatoes can be carved by an adult to create shapes like stars and trees. These easy-to-use stamps work well with brightly-coloured poster paint, and they can also be used to decorate wrapping paper and gift bags. Photo: Shutterstock

Singing to neighbours There is a very long list of traditional Christmas songs and carols, most of which would have been sung in churches and on the doorsteps of neighbours. Although the tradition hasn’t disappeared completely, families can take advantage of coming together for the first time in a while and belting their hearts out. Lots of songs have been re-recorded by different artists across a range of genres and eras, letting everyone enjoy the spirit of Christmas. Photo: third party

However, lots of families have started opting for a chill afternoon watching Christmas television instead. Consider planning your route way before Christmas Day to hold your family accountable.
