Last year we introduced the tradition of a Christmas Eve Box to bring a little extra magic and sparkle to Christmas Eve, the box is full of little treats and is a great way to settle the kids before bedtime in preparation of the big day itself.
Here is a list of what we put in ours
Festive Bathtime
What better way to wind down on Christmas Eve than a lovely warm bath - I found some cute snowman bubble bath from Avon which was perfect!
PJs
After bath time the kids put on some cosy new Christmas pyjamas and are then ready to start of all the other things in the box
Christmas Movie
A Christmassy dvd to cuddle up and watch as a family
Christmas themed Chocolate
A little treat to eat whilst watching the movie
Magic Santa Key
We don't have a fireplace in our house so to allow Santa to get in we leave out a 'magic key'
Treat for Santa & Rudolph
A tradition that I had whilst growing up to leave a mince pie and drink for Santa and
a carrot for his reindeer
Hot Chocolate
A mug, sachet of hot chocolate - to be enjoyed before bedtime in the hope a hot milky drink will help the boys drift of to sleep
Reindeer Dust
This is such a cute ideas - make up a little bag of reindeer dust to sprinkle on the lawn - simply mix porridge oats with some edible glitter (real glitter is toxic to wildlife) and wrap with ribbon - there are also some great printable poems that you can download by searching on the internet or pinterest. The dust will sparkle in the moonlight so that Father Christmas and his Reindeers can see the way to your door.
Christmas Book
A lovely Christmas book for a quiet bedtime story before sleepy excited heads hit the pillow in anticipation of the arrival of Father Christmas tomorrow
I would love to hear what you put in your Christmas Eve boxes?
