I had my students make holiday pictures using geometric shapes. They used construction paper and cut out circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles and then used those to make Santas, reindeer, snowmen, and Christmas trees (with presents underneath made out of squares!). They got to pick two of those to make and glued their creation on a sheet of paper and drew a winter/holiday scene around it. I put them on a bulletin board with a sign that said Happy Holidays. It's more of an art project, than a math activity, but since they are dealing with shapes and symmetry it could be counted as a math activity.
