A gift a day - Ditch the stocking tradition this year and give your kids a small gift every day for the two weeks leading up to Christmas! Visit the Dollar Tree or Target's dollar bins to stock up on some great items for a great price. Then wrap them up in fun ways and surprise your kids every day.
Matching pajamas - It's fun to dress alike in the cold months to celebrate and for a great casual photo... Find some terrific patterns for the whole family online.
Shapes for the holidays - Spice up lunchtime by using large cookie cutters to make holiday shapes out of slices of bread - ginger bread men, trees and snowmen all work well. Fill the insides with your child's favorite and serve to a smile!
Give back - The Christmas season is a great time to teach your children about the joys of giving. Visit the mall and find some spare change to put in the red kettle while explaining what the bell ringers are doing. Volunteer as a family to pack bags of groceries for the Goodfellows charity. Adopt a child or family that's less fortunate and shop for gifts. Whatever you do, it will go a long way to helping your children understand the true reason for the season.
Message from Santa - Take the time to create a free Portable North Pole message online. You answer some basic questions about your child, what they want for Christmas and can personalize it with photos. You'll get a link to a video with Santa talking directly to your child about exactly what they want for Christmas, being nice to parents, etc.
Dessert anyone? - Everyone goes wild with sweets during the holidays... Kitchens are filled with fudge, cookies, cakes and candy just waiting to be consumed. If your kids have a sweet tooth, surprise them one day by announcing a dessert dinner - nothing but desserts served! You'll feel like a kid again and they will remember it well into the new year. Just make sure you let them know it's a once a year tradition...
