When the gifts are opened and the kids start to get bored during their holiday break from school, getting outdoors or enjoying a recreation center for a family adventure might be just the ticket to create some great memories.
Given the bitter inversion along the Wasatch Front in recent days and lack of snow so far this December, that might require some creativity.
Others may want to stay close to home, heading into the canyons for some skiing on mostly man-made snow, fishing or wildlife watching.
And, of course, there are things to do that require little or no driving for those on the Wasatch Front, with indoor options in the case of an inversion.
