Even though you may be busy doing last minute things, tonight, and of course Christmas Eve are the perfect times to create a yearly ritual with your family.
How about getting out a favourite game and having an annual game night on the night before the night before Christmas?
We also love to have a family movie night. The tree lights are on, the decorations are nice and there is a certain peace in the house at this time of year.
Christmas Eve we let the kids open a gift of their choosing and break out a special snack. They usually sleep in the livingroom so that they can keep a look out for Santa.
This doesn’t always make it easy for Santa to stuff stockings but it makes for a fun time for the kids every Christmas.
The older ones have no problem retiring to their room at bedtime now, but they have good memories to look back on and seem to especially enjoy their silly childhood days, maybe a glimmer of hope remains that Santa is going to climb down the chimney someday :0)
the reward.
