For many area families, this week (and weekend) will be full of holiday cheer

Families can choose from many events and activities happening this weekend in Champaign-Urbana

Christmas has arrived! For many area families, the coming days will be full of family and festive fun. If you are not cooking and looking for somewhere to eat on Christmas Day, you can find a list of places we know are open here. What if you don’t celebrate Christmas, or perhaps your family has already celebrated or will be celebrating in the coming weeks? Here are some ideas of things to do on Christmas Day (aside from lights, not really related to the holiday).

Now we know kids are out of school for the longest break of the regular year, too. Never fear, we have a list of ideas of things you can do during winter break, if you need it.

However you spend this weekend, we wish you well and hope that you have a wonderful (and maybe even a little quiet and peaceful) few days ahead.

Chambanamoms thanks Lindsey Life for presenting this weekend’s planner. 

Lindsey Life

Lindsey Life is a non-profit providing Home Care and Adult Day Services that inspire older adults to live their best lives. Families feel torn between wanting to help their loved ones remain independent as they age in their homes as well as safe. So, they offer a variety of services to help older adults age supported in their homes.

Life isn’t always flexible, but their home care is. From 15-minute to 24-hour care, they can help. Lindsey Life Home Care is the most flexible and innovative home care option in Champaign County.

Living alone or isolated for long periods of time is unhealthy for all of us. So, they offer the area’s only adult day center. Lindsey Life Adult Day Center is an engaging community where older adults can find community and socialization in a home like environment. They offer both full day and half day options Monday – Friday.
