The holidays are rolling in fast, so it’s time to get your family, especially the kids, ready for Christmas. This year is the perfect time to start a meaningful Christmas tradition that your family will hold dear for a long time. Below is a list of 5 tips to make a meaningful traditional Christmas for the kids.

Christmas Eve Gift Box

Many kids can’t wait to open their gifts on Christmas. You’ll probably hear your kids asking all season long what they are getting for Christmas. On Christmas Eve before bed, let your kiddos have a sneak peek by letting them open one gift.

You can tell them that Santa made a quick stop before Christmas to drop off a gift. Not only will it resolve their need of opening a gift, but it will also get them pumped about the other gifts they are getting from Santa Claus later that night.

Gingerbread House Making Contest

Children love getting messy, eating sweets, and playing games. Combine all three by having a gingerbread house making contest. Many stores come with a gingerbread making kit or you can provide your own by making frosting and gingerbread cookies and buying your favorite sweets.

Once the houses are complete, take photos and send them to all your family and friends. Have them vote for the best gingerbread house. For the person who wins, give them a fun treat like an extra scoop of marshmallows in their hot chocolate.

Watch Christmas Movies

The holidays are the perfect time to start a tradition of watching Christmas movies throughout December. There are loads of family Christmas movies that your children will love.

You can do 31 Christmas movies during the entire month of December to get ready for Christmas. Movies that the family will enjoy include How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, A Christmas Story, White Christmas, Christmas Vacation, and many more.

Elf on the Shelf

A few years ago Elf on the Shelf became a super popular Christmas tradition. Originally, the elf was used as a way to restore a child’s belief in Santa Claus. Santa comes every night and hides the elf in new places for a child to find.

The Elf on the Shelf is still used to keep children in believing in Santa, but also as a fun Christmas tradition. Get your child ready for Christmas by placing the elf in new places around the house. Not only will they smile finding the elf, but wonder where he will be hiding next. Also, read The Elf on the Shelf book every night in December as a tradition to go with hiding the elf.

Write Letters to Santa

A great tradition to start with young children is to get them to write letters to Santa Clause. Let them give Santa a list of all the toys they want for Christmas and why they have been so good. Not only will they be excited to write and decorate a letter to Santa, but will also make your Christmas shopping a breeze.

Plus, your children can send a physical letter to Santa. USPS says to use this address on the envelope. They also suggest for you to include personalized Santa response that they can send back once they receive the letter. Make sure to include a return address and a First-Class Stamp on the envelope.

With these five meaningful traditional Christmas ideas for the family, go out and have a merry little Christmas.
