Since we already got the kids pajamas, slippers and planned on watching a Christmas movie on Christmas Eve, I pulled together these Christmas Eve present boxes for them. This way they have something fun to open on Christmas Eve.
It includes How the Grinch Stole Christmas (which we’ll read and watch), Christmas pajamas, bunny slippers, hot chocolate, popcorn, and cookies. Earlier in the day we’ll also make a gingerbread house and bake cookies for Santa.
It really has been extra fun doing all these new traditions this year now that the kids are older!
Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?

Cute! I do the same thing – we open a gift on Christmas Eve and it has their xmas pjs, and a Christmas movie

I love this idea. I really wanted to do it, but the kids aren’t into movies yet … I suppose I could have just done a book instead. Maybe next year! Hope the kids like the Grinch!

The kids get to open one gift (something from Mom and Dad). I love this movie/box idea. Unfortunately, Christmas Eve is always too busy to have time to watch movies/pop popcorn but I’ve been reading about Under the Sycamore’s Christmas Adams for a few years and I think next year my children will be ready to start and appreciate this ‘new’ tradition.

We do pajamas for Christmas Eve and I imagine that when Jackson gets older we’ll do other gifts like that as well – love the tradition!!
