Season Greeting to You All!
As I had related in my recent post,'your children DESIRE gifts but most of all, 'your children NEED YOU'. Connecting with your children is the greatest gift you can give them. The feelings of joy that you will get as a result of their laughter, smiles and hugs are priceless.
Plan with your children fun activities to do things that don’t involve spending tons of money. Children usually possess fun ideas that are buzzing with creativity. Here are some ideas guaranteed to put a smile on your face and bring out the 'joy of Christmas from within:
1)Arrange a family games evening with the option to invite close friends and compete against each other. Games could include scribbles, chess, snake and ladder, monopoly and some self-made games.
2)Make a gratitude tree. Help young children write on cards everything that they are grateful for. Tie your cards on an indoor tree as a daily reminder of all the good things in your life.
3)Prepare a new dish using an exotic recipe. Children love baking and cooking.
4)Decorate the Christmas tree with self- made ornaments cut out of cardboard, kitchen foil and interesting materials found around the home.
5)Host a 'Stand- up Comedy night' or 'Karaoke night' where friends and family all have the opportunity to share in the performances.
6)Ask your children to design and make Christmas cards to give away so as to share warm Christmas greetings.
8)Do an activity together that all family enjoy but have been putting off all year round. This may include walking, riding or going on a road trip.
9)Watch a favourite family movie or comedy together. Laughter is said to be good medicine for the soul.
10) Make a personalised gift from recycled material around the home.
Share the Joy this Christmas!
Yours truly
