I agree with chicmom. Movies are okay later on but the first date you want to be able to talk to them and make a case for a second date. Whenever I get dates around the Christmas holiday I would usually take a girl out to dinner, nothing fancy, pizza works, then we'd drive around looking at Christmas lights. Most cities have a street or a couple streets where people go all out. It gives you some private one on one time to talk and it gives you a visual show of the pretty decorations.
