30 Christmas Activities for Couples

In all the Christmas chaos, it's sometimes easy to "forget" the partner. So today I wanted to give you some ideas for "date nights" and other things to do with your partner this Christmas. Personally, I think it's important to sometimes slow down a bit, regardless of whether or not it's Christmas, though it can be okay to slow down a bit with the Christmas chaos.
