Beginning Dec 1, my 2 preschoolers can choose a "gift" to unwrap and the books we read before naptime are revealed. We usually cuddle under the Christmas tree to read the books and our bedtime music is always soft Christmas music.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Mary Lynnml4estsmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07275535603267489782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-15109825982008771502007-11-28T11:24:00.000-05:002007-11-28T11:24:00.000-05:00Monica - you can borrow our copy of Polar Express ...Monica - you can borrow our copy of Polar Express if you want.

We made gingerbread men out of paper bags, decorated them with markers and then I wrote something to do each day on the back. They were hung on a garland in the kitchen. Such excitment each morning Dec, 1 thru Christmas .

As my girls are now 13, 9, 7 they are really into bakeing. We have made a list of items they would like to bake these season. It also includes some candy making. This also includes some planning. Did like the jar idea think I might put a little twist on it. I might fill it with good deed ideas that the children can do for each other, or a nieghbor. I feel like this is such a wonderful time to teach them about service. Although we do service projects all through the year. I love the spirit that seems to wash over my older children at Christmas time. They really want to do things. We are also doing the 12 day's of Christmas to a family, we do it secretly. Each night we have something that we have come up with. We leave it on the door step, ring the door bell and run. Later will be listing what we are doing. They are so excited about doing this. These are just a few of our Christmas activities that are coming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
