Christmas Craft of the Day

Santa Mask

This is an oldie but a goodie. Take a paper plate and cut out holes for eyes and mouth in preparation for making a mask.

Then, the fun begins. Give you child some glue and cotton balls. Let her tear up the cotton balls or leave them puffy, but glue them onto the mask to give Santa hair, eyebrows and a beard.

After the glue dries, you can cut out a hat from red and black construction paper and decorate the rest of Santa's face.

Then, your child can wear the mask around the house. Be sure to teach your child how to say "Ho! Ho! Ho!"

Christmas Traditions

Throw an Annual Christmas Party for the Adults
Adults may enjoy charades or a Christmas sing-a-long. Or you could play musical chairs with a twist. Have the men get down on one knee, while the women walk around them to the tune of jingle bells. When the music stops, each woman has to sit on a man’s knee. This game is so much fun, that your guests will laugh until they cry.
