In this day and age it may be hard to fit quality bonding time with your mom into your hectic schedule -- especially during the holidays.
That said there are a bunch of ways you can spend time with her during the holidays, and you'll feel so much better for doing so.

The kitchen is a great place to bring different people together especially during the holidays. Why not invite your mom over for a day of Christmas baking? You'll have so much fun as you make food together that you'll forget that you're likely not going to get a lot done.
That doesn't matter though, because what you two will have made will have been made with love. Not to mention the stuff you do make could serve as tasty treats you can bring to parties.

One of the best parts of the holidays is decorating the Christmas Tree, and what better person to help than your mom? After all doing this together may be a great way to reflect on pleasant Christmas-time memories you had growing up.

Christmas shopping is something that you don't always have to do alone. In fact there's a couple of benefits in bringing your mom along when you do. You have to think about what the people your getting gifts for would like, and mothers always tend to know best.
Not only that, but you can also make hints towards things you would like to have for Christmas.
Do Some Volunteer Work

We tend to forget that Christmas isn't about receiving gifts, but giving to those who are less fortunate than you. One of the most fulfilling ways you can go about doing this is through volunteer work. If you decide to volunteer why not bring your mom?
Not only will you both feel like you made a positive change in the world, but you'll both have fun memories to look back on when you get older.
Walk In The Snow

There's something so serene about the way snow covers things. It makes things look much more peaceful. One good way to enjoy this beauty is by grabbing some hot chocolate or coffee and taking a walk with your mom.
You don't have to make a journey out of it; just disconnect and talk with her as you walk through the winter scenery.
