93. What is a good way to spend cold, dark evenings?

It’s daylight saving time soon, and that means the evenings will be even more cold and dark than they are right now.

And it’s hard. Sometimes we turn on the TV a lot because we don’t know what else to do. And watching some TV is fine, but I don’t really want to spend most of my evenings.

So what else can we do?

Board and card games
Going somewhere: shopping, eating, library, visiting others
Looking at stars
Reading–alone and together
Cooking and baking
Sign up for sports/classes/etc.
Starting a new hobby
Carpentry/building/housework
Cleaning/organizing
Listen to music
Serving and thinking about someone else
Creating something new: writing and drawing and arts and crafts
Go to bed early
Family home evening
Singing and playing instruments
Video calls with other people
Jackbox games or other video games together
Extra homework, learning, math, etc.
Science experiments, engineering projects, learning boxes
Swimming at an indoor pool
Playing with toys
Playing with paper, tape, cardboard, etc. (my kids make their own card games and houses and everything).
Getting other craft supplies and playing with those
Stations (like they do in preschool)
