The Christmas Eve Box

A new innovation. This is a box opened on Christmas eve to bring Christmas sharply into focus and to provide entertainment on the night before Christmas to reduce over excitement in Children. It is supposed to be a family box where everyone in the family participates. Over the next few days either there are a lot of others vying for attention, everyone is too busy organising things or playing with their new gifts to spend quality time as a family.

Ideas for items in a Christmas eve box are

Christmas pyjamas for all the family, a Christmas movie, Christmas family game, craft materials for making a Christmas ornament. Ingredients for hot chocolate, special supper snack.

A Christmas eve box should not include lollies or chocolates as you want the kids to go to sleep and they will get enough junk food Christmas day to last a month.
