So, be sure to put down a disposable (and festive!) tablecloth I believe we snagged ours at Party City or Target for about $1, and it’ll make cleanup much easier. This year, we did our cookie decorating with friends - and it got WILD.

Frosting a big batch of cookies with your kids. Just a quick note: I’ve included some Amazon links, just to be helpful, but Graham Media Group may collect a small share of sales from the links provided on this page. I thought I’d rank some of my favorite holiday activities, for any other parents, caregivers or Christmas enthusiasts out there. My daughter just turned 6, and my son will be 4 in a few weeks, so we’re in the perfect age range to get amped up about Christmas. Needless to say, I’m now a parent (which you’ve obviously gathered by now), and I’m all in on the holidays. It might sound cliche, but there’s something truly so magical about it: The build-up to the big day, writing a letter to Santa, the way their eyes light up on Christmas morning, and hearing their pitter-patter footsteps bright and early, sprinting down to the tree. To see Christmas through a child’s eyes, you can’t help but catch some of the holiday spirit. Sure, it was a nice time of year, and I enjoyed seeing my family when I could, but I didn’t really understand the appeal of decorating, baking or most holiday-themed events.Īll of that changed, however, once I got into my 30s and had kids. As an adult, by my late 20s, I started to feel a little bit “meh” about Christmas.
