Why not do things\na little differently this year and head to the cottage for your Christmas or\nNew Year\u2019s celebrations? You\u2019ll be sure to make amazing new memories and start\na few new traditions of your own. Let\u2019s have a look at a couple of ideas to\nmake it memorable while saving your sanity: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Plan long in advance <\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless\nthere are just a few of you going and your schedules are fairly clear over the\nholidays, you\u2019ll need to do some careful planning and strategizing to get\neveryone together. You may need to work around other people\u2019s work schedules,\nparty plans and so on. Keep in mind that there may be a little hesitation for a\nfew in your family who may not like the thought of changing up their holiday\ntraditions, so be sure to allow for a lot of feedback and flexibility to make\nit a success!&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Make a packing list <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your\nholiday celebrations at the cottage may mean that you need to make an extra\nlist this Christmas! There are things you\u2019ll need to pack that don\u2019t make it up\nover the summer months such as your decorations, gifts and gift bags, shovels,\nwinter coats, boots, skis, snowshoes, skates, cozy blankets, and your DVDs of\nElf, Christmas Vacation, and Home Alone of course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Keeping everyone busy <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Make\nthose festive memories by enjoying your beautiful wintery wonderland; there\u2019s\nso much to do to keep everyone busy! With enough snow (which there typically\nis!), you can go snowmobiling, skiing, snowshoeing and skating, as well as\nbuild an epic snow fort or snowman! Outdoor bonfires are always popular,\nespecially when there are S\u2019mores and hot chocolate involved. For those indoor\ndays, you can make holiday crafts, homemade gifts, bake cookies, play games,\ncatch up on some reading and cozy up with your favourite holiday drink watching\nmovies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Making it memorable <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nholidays are about being with friends and loved ones, so a retreat to your\ncottage might be just the ticket to get in that quality time you\u2019ve been\nmissing. Sure, it may be unlike other holidays you\u2019ve had, but that\u2019s what\nmakes it so much more memorable. Sit back, relax, spread some cheer and even\nring in a new year in your cottage this season \u2013 you\u2019ll be glad you did! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life in the Parry Sound and Muskoka region is truly magical year-round.
