Suggestions of things to do/see in Boston?
I'm a Boston native, first and foremost. However, I moved to Seattle on my own before I was an adult.
I will be going to Boston from the 20th til the 28th this month. I'm brining my fiance with me. I'm 24 and he's 37. (I only state ages so that a gauge of interest can be judged for things to do.)
He has never been to Boston before, and I'd love to make the trip special and memorable for him!
Things that are already on the agenda are the following:
-Shear Madness
-F1 Racing (in Braintree)
-Medieval Manor
-Sunday brunch at the Boston Harbor Hotel
-Tiki Island (if you've never been, it's the best chinese food in the country, located in Medford ;) )
-Faneuil Hall Marketplace
-Salem
-Harvard Square
-Museum of Science
And possibly going to the North End for his first trip to a real Italian bakery, or Newbury Street for some shopping, food, and fun :)
Since it's going to be cold, and snow is a possibility, things like the Duck Tours and the Public Garden/Swan Boats are pretty much out. (Also, we're not interested in the Aquarium, and at this point, it would be exceedingly expensive to book tickets to a theatre show.)
What else can you suggest?
-For the two of us to do?
-For us to do on Friday the 26th with my mother (52) and brother (26) to accompany us?
(Is there anything going on Christmas Day or night??)
Any help or suggestions are appreciated!! Thanks in advance. :)

if you're interested in sports I'd suggest going to a Bruins game. They're on fire, first in the east, and the games are so fun. The Garden (where they play) is right next to North Station so it's easily accessible and the tickets are much easier to find then Celtics tickets, and cheaper too!
if not, you could try skating on the Frog Pond in boston common, or going to see the Christmas tree...
Also, many plays at the Wang theater are very good! Dirty Dancing the musical will be taking place during the dates you'll be here! Many others too!
Downtown crossing has a lot of shopping, and you can really experience the true atmosphere of Boston, lots of sausage carts, chestnut roasters, Sidewalk carts.
Also, you can take a horse carriage ride right out of fannuel hall. That's pretty romantic ;)
If you want the best pastries and desserts in the world, NO EXAGGERATION, i'd say go to Mike's Pastry, on Hanover Street in the North End. It literally is world famous for it's cannolis. Definitely give it a try.
Hope this helped! I would have suggested many of the things you already plan on doing!
PS- Tiki Island is amazing ;o)

If your going to the north end,and you like pizza.I would recommend pizzeria regina.Bruins tickets are reasonable,but i would suggest to spend a little more so your not in the nose bleed section.For other events that maybe happening check out (boston.com).If your renting a carand you like Christmas light.You should visit the LaSalette Shrine in Attelboro 45 minutes from boston.
