Christmas time is about giving, sharing and being with your family and friends. There are many things you can do with each other. You can go shopping, wrap gifts, bake cookies, decorate, cook, eat, share stories and more. Another activity that you can do with your friends and family during the Christmas time is ice skating.

Another benefit of ice skating is exercise. If running or working out is not your thing, ice skating might be it. If you like dancing, there is also ice dancing which is great exercise too. It helps with flexibility, and also endurance.

Ice skating is not only about figuring skating and dancing. There are also many of sports playing on the ice too. Ice hockey, for example, is where you try to shoot a puck into a goal with long sticks that have a blade on the end. You can also play Bandy. It is similar to field hockey and ice hockey but you play with a little ball instead of a puck. Ringette is a game played on ice with a team where you score goals by shooting a ring into a goal with a stick that does not have a blade. If you like racing, you can speed skate on the ice. You try to go faster than your opponent. If you have high endurance and you can travel far you can go tour skating, this is where you travel long distances on natural ice.

Ice skating can be a romantic adventure, where you and your significant other can go out and enjoy. Or you can go with a group of friends, get all bundled up and hang out on the ice. You can also go with your family and share stories, and make wonderful families memories.
