Christmastime’s A Blast
Make Christmastime with your kids a time to remember.
Hi everyone, it’s me, Holly the Holiday Expert. I wanted to take a minute to talk about kids and Christmastime. We all have to realize that for kids, Christmas is their time of year, not ours. They go on their best behavior, they make lists, they count the days and they walk around with permanent smiles plastered to their merry little faces. Yes, Christmastime is definitely about kids. I should know, I have three of them.
This year, if you want to make Christmastime a time to remember, you’re going to want to plan a few special things and create a few new traditions. Below are some Christmastime traditions that our family loves.
Bobbing for Apples
It’s usually a fall festivity, but my family loves bobbing for apples during the holiday season. The person who gets the most apples during the Christmastime apple bobbing gets to open their presents first on Christmas day.
The Gingerbread House
Another great Christmastime festivity is putting together a gingerbread house. I cheat and get a kit, but I know some families like to do this one from scratch.
Window Shop for Christmas Gifts
Me and my kids like to go online and make our Christmastime wish lists. Not only is it fun, it gives me an idea of what my kids want. Here are some great websites for you to visit with your kids.
Great website to visit when making Christmastime lists with your kids.

I am looking for a special way to lead my kids to their gifts on Xmas morning rather than just putting the gifts under the tree. Any ideas?
