What to do on Cold Winter Days

When I asked people what they enjoy doing indoors when the weather is cold outside during the winter months, I received the following responses.

Danita Ponte said the four individuals she works with and she stays occupied by doing group activities which include watching movies, doing extra cooking and baking, doing chair exercises, and redecorating.

Scott Schieck said when he was young, his parents bought the kits to latch hook rugs.

Tasha Homeniuk said her family stays busy with their commitment to extracurricular activities both as players and as coaches. So, when they are home, they genuinely enjoyed spending time together.

“We play a lot of board and card games. Both my husband and I like to be creative and this has been passed down to our girls so we often are making crafts, everything from woodworking, to cross stitching we have tried to tackle over the past couple of years due to restrictions. We have failed at some of our attempts such as crocheting, but always have fun trying new things.

One thing our family loves to do year round is to cook together and share meals as a family. Once a week we have a themed dinner. We use these nights to explore new foods, discover new cooking techniques and learn about the cultures around the world. These nights have also helped us to connect with extended family across the country as we share our food ideas and dinner conversations via Zoom,” Tasha explained.
