151. Analog Adventures Made Easy This Christmas

How can we have fun at the pace of real life?

Video games are fun, movies are festive, but at some point we need a break. Our brains, hearts, and lungs need some space to breath. We need some Analog Adventures.

Three things to keep in mind:
1. “I’m bored” is really asking for a reset back to the pace of real life. 😵‍💫
2. Keep activities wonder-focused. Fun should never be a punishment. 🤗
3. Fun doesn’t have to mean expensive.

Today we discuss a few adventure ideas, how to make them work for your family, and give some options that even the Scrooge's out there will enjoy.
