It’s that time of year again – living rooms smell like pine trees, candy canes are in every store, and the first frosts now cover lawns and cars. For many, this season is highly anticipated and literally the ‘most wonderful time of the year.’ Extended family comes from far to visit, and some of the best food is prepared to fill your belly as you eagerly wait for Santa to make his yearly debut.

This year in particular will look very different for everyone, as traditions may not be carried out or loved ones will not be so close. To spark some joy in your lives this irregular season, continue reading – I promise you will find some fun things and hope to cling on to!

Daubenberger Road, Fields of Ice might just be the perfect activity to make it feel like winter. And don’t forget to string up some lights on one of Ron’s Amazing Christmas Trees, available to buy next to the rink!
