Well, Christmas will be behind us and most of us will be ready to sit and relax for a bit.
Honestly, my “Picks” for the weekend immediately after Christmas would ideally involve doing nothing at all. Watch the children play with their new things, grab a good book, curl up and hunker down for a while. Or…even better….with the weather being so unseasonably balmy….get outside. Go for a walk, a hike, or a bike ride…or a skate.
To be honest, I’m not sure what the status of the outdoor skating rinks is when it is almost 70 degrees in September, but it is worth checking out.
So,
Pick #1: Get Outside and Walk Off Christmas Dinner
Find a place to hike and explore. Follow the link below to find your ideal Mass Audubon location.

Pick #2: Take to the Ice in Lynnfield or Boston
Remember to call and see if they are a rink or a pool due to warm weather before going!
Pick #3: The Polar Express in 4D at The Museum of Science (or any of their other IMAX Movies
I think that this is fairly short…so don’t expect a full-length movie!
The Polar Express 4-D Experience
Go on an extraordinary 4-D adventure this holiday season on THE POLAR EXPRESS! When a doubting young boy takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery that shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe. THE POLAR EXPRESS™ 4-D Experience is based on the inspiring and beloved Caldecott Medal children’s book by Chris Van Allsburg.
Featured in digital 3-D and brought to life with 4-D multisensory effects, this is an immersive experience for the whole family to enjoy!
