Santa Baby, it's Christmastime! So gather round the fireplace for a heartwarming set of
memories you create at home. It's time to share those classic Christmas treats and
activities with your kids. Here are some bright additions to any Christmas party:

out the cookie cutters and let the kids design their own edible ornaments, right.
- Play Reindeer games. The ride on reindeer costume, lower right, is sure to be a hit
with kids year after year. Get one each for your little Prancer and Dancer.
- Pass the parcel. Turn this classic English birthday party game into your new

candy canes, stickers and small Christmas trinkets. Kids gather in a circle to pass
the parcel, each one takes a turn to open a layer.

delightful no-melt snowmen. - Create a blizzard of snowflakes from paper and hang from a fishing line. It's

jar. You'll need a glue gun, glycerin and a silicone sealant, a few tiny holiday
treasures, distilled water and glitter. Here's how to make a snowglobe.
