I have the entire month of Dec. set aside for Christmas crafting and stories and songs. The week before Christmas we have a birthday girl here, but we also have one day for our annual pj party and we always make special cookies. Another day we have our Grinch party and watch the movie and the children dress up as the Lou Who's and I'm the grinch right down to green clothes and green eyeshadow all over my face, hehe.

The children always make a big container and fill it over the month with presents for their parents and they put that under their tree so that they have something to give. I like teaching them the Christmas is about giving.
