With the many joys of the holidays can also come a price to pay. Overscheduled and overcommitted, it seems like this special time of year sometimes can leave us feeling more humbug than happy. So, why not take a few minutes out of your day to recharge your batteries with a Green Hour for you and your family? Getting outside and connecting with nature is the perfect way to unwind and celebrate the beauty of the season. Here are just a few ideas -- so bundle up and get out there!

  • Check out NatureFind™ and find a new park, trail or nature center to visit.
  • Participate in a favorite winter sport like hiking, skiing, sledding or ice skating.
  • Fill your birdfeeders and see what visitors come. You can even decorate a tree with edible ornaments. For ideas, visit Ranger Rick's website.
  • Check out your local nature center to see what winter-time programming they offer.
  • Go stargazing -- a clear winter night is an amazing site to behold.
