The Chinese New Year 2012 kicks off on January 23rd, bringing about a fun way for you and your significant other to spend time either by yourselves or with a group of friends. Certain facts relating to China fascinate me and I believe that putting together a cultural celebration of this type is a unique way to explore how others live while experiencing an entertaining time learning something new.
Decorate using Chinese cultural items such as chop sticks, red lanterns with candles in them, dragons, bright tablecloths with a gold runner and plastic take out boxes.

I have been in park mode with temperatures retaining their pleasant status this weekend. My husband and I love visiting parks when readings peak in the upper seventies, which is often the case here in Florida. You may disagree with me if you live far enough up north to see a plentiful amount of cold weather. The good news regarding visiting parks is that most of the country has seen mild temperatures and very little snow this winter. I've read stories about people as far north as Minnesota having to take their winter games indoors because of a lack of snow and ice. The warmer weather makes exploring a nearby park the perfect way to enjoy a free day with your significant other.
Decide on a park near your home that you haven't seen before or visit a nearby favorite. Many cities, towns and rural areas have scenic and outdoor locations for residents and visitors to enjoy. Conduct an internet search to find one near you. My husband and I like a park in our area that offers a variety of scenic options such as water, animals and woodlands. We also enjoy looking up a new sites to explore such as a state-owned forest and the like.

My husband and I have enjoyed ringing in the New Year's either at home or with other couples over at a friend's house or a family member's house. We haven't gone out; the roads in our small town are either clogged up with cops or people who the cops are chasing after. Almost everybody I know hunkers down, either with friends or family or by themselves to welcome in the New Year. We all have managed to come up with some creative and fun ways to spend the holiday at home.
Appetizers and Games
Organize a New Year's Eve get together with your significant other and a few friends that you are both close with. Make or purchase appetizers and place them on festive plates and serving platters. Gather together games, some low-cost champagne and settle in for a fun way to ring in New Year's Eve.

Take some time out during your busy holiday season to plan a date around a winter sleigh ride. These dates are crazy romantic; sure to impress the heck out of your significant other. Some of them don't cost much, depending on the type of venue or company that offers the carriage ride.
Some of the small towns that I've been too, including my own, have horse-drawn carriage rides during the holidays that people can purchase a ticket to. The Friday after Thanksgiving marks the day when my downtown area flips the annual switch, causing a million bright bulbs to light up the streets, power poles and Christmas tree. This is when the horse-drawn carriage drivers come out, waiting to cart kids, parents and couples around the few blocks that make up downtown.

I have found that even when I'm the most stressed by outside events, sitting down with my honey to watch a cheesy comedy helps cheer me up time and again. This is why I'm suggesting this date night idea during the holiday season because, even those without kids, have plenty of activities to cross of their to do list. I think you'll find that if you take a night to snuggle up with your significant other on the couch to watch a romantic Christmas movie you'll finish the film feeling refreshed and ready for romance.
