Holiday fun!

50 Christmas Things to Make and Do is filled with Christmas crafts, card making ideas, yummy holiday nibbles for gift giving or parties.

I like to use it as part of a Holiday pocket countdown calendar. Print 25 pockets onto colored paper, fold and glue to a poster board. On index cards decorated with stickers, write a holiday activity to do each day.

Include the normal holiday prep that you need to do anyway, like signing/mailing cards, decorating the tree & home, and different baking days. Other things to include might be riding around looking at lights, going caroling, making gifts, wrapping gifts, reading Christmas books, watch Christmas movie(s), donate food to a food bank, “adopt” an angle tree child, participate in your church Christmas program, or attend a church Christmas program.

Since this is a daily calendar you can easily include daily advent readings, and/or Jesse tree reading/ornaments in each pocket as well.
