Things to do on amtrak, besides the obvious reading, music, etc?

My boyfriend and i are taking a 30 hour Amtrak train ride from the south up north for the holidays. we are getting one of the small rooms, so we will have our own little private compartment with a small area. last trip we took, we were bored with reading, watching movies, listening to music, playing games, etc after the first 5 hours or so. i thought maybe since we are going up for christmas, it might be a good idea to make christmas presents. for example, we purchased a whole bunch of mason jars and candy and were going to make some gift jars for Christmas for all our friends and family. besides handmade ornaments, what could we do on the train that could be fun and productive? any homemade Christmas present ideas that could be done on the train if we bring the supplies? thanks!
