2. Been there many times. Expecting snow during the xmas season is wishful thinking.

Of course, "When I grew up in upstate NY, we had 4 feet of snow by December 1st." My memories from 60-70 years ago are probably a bit clouded....

Card and board games, puzzles, crosswords, word games (charades, anyone?). Notice I didn't suggest that everyone retreat to their phone/pad/tablet/etc.?

Enjoy conversations. Go for some nice long walks in the woods (forest bathing). Jog, run, crawl (in my case).

Pretty soon we'll all complain about winter, too much snow/ice, too many out-of-town skiers, etc.
