Yes, indeed, December is a busy month for most families, but if you're looking for some special activities to enjoy together--and perhaps create new traditions for your family that aren't about "the gimmes"--here are some ideas your children might enjoy:

  • Explore the theatre: The vibrant Triangle theatre scene puts on many wonderful shows for the holidays. Introduce your child to the theatre with Raleigh Little Theatre's Cinderella, Carolina Ballet's The Nutcracker, or Theatre in the Park's fun, family-friendly take on A Christmas Carol.
  • Enjoy some art: The NC Museum of Art scored a major coup with the opening of their historic Rembrandt exhibit, which is a must-see for art lovers. But the museum offers a whole lot more than that for families this month: Family Fun Saturdays, music programs, an evening of holiday fun, and more.
  • Get some fresh air: Pullen Park has impressed local families with its grand re-opening following extensive renovations. Stop by to see what the fuss is all about!
  • Give back: Holiday gift, coat, and food drives abound. Teach your child the value of sharing by participating in collections of both necessities and treats for the less fortunate. A quick Google of holiday drives will help you find your connection to the area's charities and foundations.
