Facing a 13-day stretch of below-freezing temperatures may seem like a week-and-a-half long spell of cabin fever, but with a handful of activities it can be turned into a relaxing staycation in sweatpants.

Top 5 indoor boredom remedies:

1. Create your own movie night.

Blue Ridge Cable has released a slew of new movie titles to entertain the in-home all-age audience this year.

• “A Frozen Christmas,” This child-friendly film is all about Christmas, Santa and his pals.

• For a more mature audience, enjoy the frozen tundra from the cozy sofa with the new release, “The Mountain Between Us.”

Kate Winslet and Idris Elba play strangers desperate to survive a plane crash on a remote mountain.

2. Dust off the old board games or unwrap new card ones.

Turn off the digital screen and gather the family around the tree to enjoy a classic like “Monopoly,” or “Exploding Kittens.”

3. Crack a book.

Create your own reading nook with your favorite comfy chair next to the holiday décor in those new flannel pajamas and enjoy one of the titles from your Christmas list. This year’s title toppers were Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” while the Harry Potter series held strong another year.

4. Put those new kitchen appliances to use.

In this digital age it’s easy to access recipes from all over the world. Fire up that Insta-Pot for some hearty soups, spicy stews and family friendly meals.

5. Get organized.

Take a little time to comb through last year’s toys, clothes and household items and make a donation pile. It’s never too late to get in on the giving spirit of the season.
