I received something similar for my wedding. The giver had written all sorts of date night ideas.
- Rent Christmas movies, pop some popcorn and watch in front of the fire.
- Make cookies together
- S'mores night!
- Pick out matching stockings - have your names embroidered on them.
- Make gifts for the neighbors. (My husband packaged cocoa and mini marshmallows. I baked cookies and made gift tags. We put them in tins and delivered them together one night.)
- Take a romantic stroll to look at Christmas lights, or if you live in a neighborhood that doesn't do them, check the paper for the best displays and drive to see them.
- Gather some friends and go carolling.
- Volunteer at a local food bank or shelter together to serve meals to the needy.
- Go "angel" shopping together. Pick out the name of a needy child at your local mall or Salvation Army and then go pick out a present for the child!
- Host a Christmas cocktail party. Choose a few holiday themed drink recipes. Make appetizers together. Use a photo of the two of you together in the invitations and on drink tags.
There were a ton more, but I sadly don't remember them all. It's packed away in storage so I can't even dig it out to reference. Good luck though!
