Christmas Craft of the Day
Make a Christmas Card Holder
Here is a creative idea for storing your Holiday cards. Start
with an empty Kleenex (or tissue) box, and cut out the top
rectangular part of it. Wrap it in Christmas paper, and use it as a
Christmas card holder. Decorate it with holly and ivy. Then, attach
a ribbon to both ends and you have a beautiful homemade Christmas
card basket.

Christmas Traditions
Get your Reindeer Food Ready
All you need is Oatmeal and Glitter. The oatmeal is for the
reindeer to eat, and the glitter helps them to see it as they land.
If you don't have oatmeal and glitter, then make sure to have
some carrots for your lawn. Tomorrow night, take pictures of the
kids running around in the yard in their jammies, spreading the
Reindeer Food everywhere.
(Just be sure, if you use carrots, to sneak out and nibble on
them before morning so there is evidence of the reindeer enjoying
the treats.)
