Now tha...Oooh, I love your and Aubrey's ideas. Now that I have the gifts taken care of, I feel like I can relax a little more. <br /><br />Hmmm, what do we do? We have Jean Luc, our Bayou Born Elf on the Shelf, we have a Christmas count-down, we do a toy for tots gift. We also, and my kiddos love it, have a FHE where we drive around, vote on the best decorated house, then ring and run leaving a box of chocolates behind as their award (with the reason we left it for them on a gift tag). I adore Christmas music and I love watching Christmas movies. We just watched Mr. Krueger's Christmas and the Nativity Story. Beautiful. I try VERY hard to make sure my children know why we celebrate Christmas. I think it is possibly paying off. :)Alabama Appleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03238707597299794714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917958974113278408.post-9358084110324218232010-12-15T11:56:22.093-06:002010-12-15T11:56:22.093-06:00I love all of your ideas, and think the baby Chris...I love all of your ideas, and think the baby Christ's manger might be one I implement as my kids get a little older and therefore more accountable. <br /><br />I pretty much do all the same things, decorate, listen to Christmas music, eat yummy food. We also try to give in some way, the Angel trees or something simple, like baking cookies for the Fire Department. <br /><br />I also like to countdown to Christmas and this year we are doing one Christmas themed activity a day for the twelve days of Christmas. I'm trying to keep things simple this year so I can really enjoy and explore the holiday with my kids and not stress out.Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07549497644004955333noreply@blogger.com
