Ascending Butterfly Holidays Buying Guide 2010, Sixth Giveaway sponsored by:
What are your
christmas family traditions? One of mine is putting up my tree during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. This year of course, all my traditions were moved up, WAY up. I put up my tree earlier than usual this year because I needed time to field test it and write my review! New tree, new ornaments and now a new way to count down to Christmas with the little ones!
One of the most common traditions to prepare for Santa's arrival is with Milk and Cookies! Christmas Eve is usually a flurry of activity, and getting little ones to wind down and go to bed can sometimes be a challenge. Engaging the little ones with fun activities to prepare for Santa's arrival creates a tradition and memories that they will carry over with them when they get older and have families of their own.
One of my favorite signature gifts when there is a newborn in the family is the mobile for above the crib. I just found a new signature gift that I will be giving for baby's first christmas, it's Red Envelope's
NEW Night Before Christmas Activity Kit. Red Envelope has been a go to for me for years for corporate gifts, I have both given and received many memorable gifts from Red Envelope! I have come to look to Red Envelope first for innovative, unique and well packaged gifts. This Kit is everything I've already come to expect from Red Envelope, it's uniquely presented, well packaged and just plain fun for kids of all ages as well as kids at heart.
I tried my best to wait until 12/24 but on my next shopping trip I am already going to have to replace the cookies and the cocoa so Santa won't notice! But Ssshh, don't tell anyone!
