It’s Christmas time once again and the kids are as excited as they can get. We’ve decided to take a Christmas break from studies for the coming week (formal studies, that is) and the kids are ‘officially’ on holiday so they’re ecstatic.
Our schedule for the next couple of days is something like this:
Baking, baking and some more baking. I’ve roped in both the kids to help me in this since we have this Xmas ritual of sending out goodies to each one of our friends (and our friend circle is quite big). The menu for this year: Chocolate meringue cakes, mince pies and fruity biscotti.
Watching our favorite Christmas movies. The Santa Clause, Home Alone, Frosty the Snowman, A Christmas Carol… As many as we can fit in!
Setting up our Christmas tree. This is the activity that the kids look forward to the most when it comes to Xmas. They love making ornaments on their own for decorating the tree – snowflake ornaments, paper pinwheels, ribbon candies and even the fairy on top of the Christmas tree!
After all,
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone near,
A little gift from one held dear,
Best wishes for the coming year,
These make a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
