I love Christmas! From watching movies on tv to driving around looking at lights to doing my holiday baking, but I especially love all the little ways you can make Christmas even more magical for your little ones. So here are some ideas to make your Christmas even Merrier this year!
The Elf On The Shelf: First you need to adopt an Elf! The little elf receives his/her elf name by your family and then has the magic needed to fly to the North Pole each and every night while all the girls and boys are sound asleep! While there Santa gets a report on all the naughty and nice happenings during the day. The elf flies back to hide in a new location just in time for your little ones to wake up each morning. When the elf arrives at your house is up to you but the day after Thanksgiving seems to be a perfect time. The shenanigans last until Christmas Morning when your elf leaves until next year.

iCaughtSanta: This is perhaps one of the coolest things that proves that Santa really was in the house. In 3 easy steps you can turn a typical picture taken in your house into one with Santa caught in the act! He can be by the Christmas tree, coming down the chimney, eating milk and cookies, etc.
Watch Christmas Movies: Rent them, pop in the DVD or catch them on TV!
Leave Signs That Santa Visited: Last year I cut a sponge in the shape of a reindeer hoof and used brown washable paint to make hoof prints on the walkway right where my son had sprinkled the "reindeer food". When he went out to see if the reindeer ate their food, he couldn't believe his eyes. He was also in awe when he found a bell that must have fell off of the sleigh!
Make Christmas Cookies Together: Turn off the TV, put away the electronics, put the Christmas carols on and spend some priceless time together decorating sugar cookies. Pick a day, a night, or even just an hour to enjoy the fun!
Countdown to Christmas: Pick a craft or two or more to start celebrating the season together. There are lots of ideas right here on Macaroni KID!
Enjoy making your own family traditions and memories!🎄❄🎅
