Send in a photo of your gingerbread house by the end of the day.

Day 8: Outdoor Gathering

The weather’s getting warmer and there’s more sunlight in the evenings! Get together with some friends, your neighbours or family for a picnic or BBQ to celebrate Christmas together.

Bring some lawn games (Finska & Bocce’ are great, all-age options), a speaker if you want some festive tunes and a picnic rug or some camp chairs so you’re all comfy!

Want to mix things up? You may even want to try a Nic-Pic or a Q.B.B. (Where you do things backwards by starting with dessert and ending with savoury).

Who could you bless today?
Who could you surprise with a kind act?
Who do you know who needs a little light and encouragement?
