[quote=Anonymous]Baking Christmas cookies - frosting them is fun.  An inexpensive Trader Joe’s gingerbread house to build is fun. One for the whole family - while frosting some of the cookies.

Make candy together

Find a free Christmas concert at a local church or school

Drive around looking at lights. Going to National Christmas tree at Ellipse and/or Botanical Gardens

Make stupid ornaments from toilet rolls or other cardboard throwaway items

Set a budget for each kid - small things for stockings.

Ask your kids to think about what they really need.

Since you will be home, you can watch movies together - go on hikes (depending on your physical ability after your hospitalization).

I would google simple, inexpensive Christmas ideas and see what others have compiled.  Pluck what interests you.

How did your 13 and 8 year old react when you were hospitalized? Do they know the reason?  They may. Be more empathetic than you think.

Go to some of the library book sales that are going on now - there should be some bargains there.

Get some cookbooks out from the library and see what you and your family is interested in cooking.

Are either of your children interested knitting or crocheting?  If so, you can ask on your social media if anyone has any extra yarn or needles.  People in my knitting group are always looking to give away things.

I wish you a calm, serene, and loving holiday season.
