This year i've compiled a list of 25 Christmas movies & 25 Christmas books (one for each day) I'm wrapping the books up individually so they will get to unwrap one each day before we read them. We also had a Polar Express party a few years ago with the kids close friends/cousins and it was a lot of fun! Probably going to do that again this year :)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12530361011575354189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549794981885625723.post-78620768566817068012011-11-29T07:11:25.203-06:002011-11-29T07:11:25.203-06:00We started the gingerbread house last year when Vi...We started the gingerbread house last year when Vivi was 2. She loved doing that project with Grandma. Now she is soooooo excited to do it again! We already decorated salt dough ornaments (yes we are excited!) and saw Santa. The stocking is always from Santa and she gets the naughty vs nice concept. This year to try to combat tantrums, we are trying to get her to spread "Christmas cheer" as Santa's helper. I made a Santa themed tutu. <br />She is helping pick out and wrap gifts for children who are in foster care. This one is tough 'cause she wants all the gifts but it is a chance to explain somethings (lightly). I think it will get better each year. Now for a parade.Ms. Kanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17467583522438323796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549794981885625723.post-11945691232554146222011-11-28T23:08:49.312-06:002011-11-28T23:08:49.312-06:00We watch The Polar Express every year, and can'...We watch The Polar Express every year, and can't possibly watch it without having hot chocolate of our own at the same time :) We're pretty eclectic here so OUR tradition is not sticking with tradition! Each year we try something different.*Renee*https://www.blogger.com/profile/16102954298403899993noreply@blogger.com
