Kids And Holiday Time

So school is finally out for us.  Instead of dreading the days until Christmas as the excitement builds and the tension in the house about explodes, we began something a few years back.  It is WONDERFUL!  We call it Crafts to Christmas.  This year it's pretty short with only a few days before Christmas, but everyday as we await the big day we make a  craft.  I have got my sisters and niece's involved and so we each take a day and do a craft.

We have
            Frosted Sugar Cookies
            Made Tree Ornaments
            Made snow globes
            Talked about Gingerbread men and decorated our own gingerbread
            Made gingerbread houses
            Made friend gifts
            Candy Cane Reindeer
            Generally there is a story to go along with the craft.  It's something the children really look forward to. Such a fun and enjoyable time for all who participate!!!~
