Cook Together. Cooking can be a lot of fun when everyone is involved in the preparations. This year for Christmas, rather than leaving everything up to mom, how about having each person pick a dish that they will cook or bake? You can even video tape it and host a bake-off where the best-tasting dish wins some kind of prize.
