Looking for something fun to do with your four-day weekend? We've got a few seasonal ideas perfect for fueling your family's post-Turkey Day plans... and yes, decking out your house with holiday lights does, or at least can, qualify as fun.

Pick Out a Perfect Christmas Tree
One of my favorite family traditions was driving out to a tree farm just outside Ann Arbor, MI, the day after Thanksgiving to hunt for and chop down our Christmas tree. It meant Santa Claus would be coming soon, as well as roast beef sandwiches covered in gravy at a local restaurant on the way home.

Start Your Holiday Decorating
It's an unspoken rule of thumb that putting up holiday decorations before Thanksgiving is too early, but anytime after is fine. That means it's time to channel your inner Clark Griswold.

Burn Off Those Thanksgiving Calories
For many families, the only calories expended on Thanksgiving are those burned during repeated trips to the kitchen for another serving of turkey and a fourth slice of pie. Our Guide to Family Fitness has fun ideas to make up for tomorrow's wonderful gluttony.

Celebrate the Holidays at a Theme Park
Cotton candy and the roar of roller coasters is replaced with candy canes and cheers for Santa Claus during the winter holiday season at many theme parks around the US.
