Christmas family activities that create lasting memories Christmas is fast approaching and the holiday time for children. We wonder how we will host our children during the holiday season.
Holidays are the best time to share activities between adults and children.
The first activity is to return to the atmosphere of the magic and festive spirit of this holiday by visiting shopping malls organizing windows decorated, which are an eternally renewed delight for children and their parents.
Some malls are also organizing areas consisting of a path to the lighting, scenery, scenes from movies posted Christmas train sets and toys simulating real situations, static or interactive decorations like a truck firefighters and fire assistance to victims of a fire or express 9-3/4 King's Cross station platform bringing Harry Potter and his friends at Hogwarts.
A little later, after seeing Rudolph surrounded by elves and goblins relaxing on a fairy forest, we enter the house of Barbie fantastic which contains 35 rooms decorated on the eve of December 24th. Do not bother, it will host a Christmas party.
Another three steps and we will enter the area of Victorian Christmas dream: hundreds of beautiful teddy bears are playing in a green grass. Ten meters after them, we are approaching a luxurious bedroom, where old fashioned porcelain dolls are sleeping in their cradle.
At the end of this path, we meet Father Christmas, sitting on a golden throne and waiting for our children to communicate their wish list for him.
An image of Santa Claus holding our child on his lap closes this magical journey reminds us that the taste and atmosphere of our own childhood. This trip will also become our fairy remembers the first Christmas of the year.
The second activity will be decorating our house and Christmas tree. Is there a better holiday activity than this, that our children will remember when they grow up and become parents? It will certainly give them the desire to perpetuate these traditions.
I remember the first time I decorated the tree with my mother and she told me not to touch the flocking, which simulated the snow because she thought he would cut my fingers. I do not believe ... When my son helped me decorate the Christmas tree for the first time, I told him not to touch the flocking and one second, taste and feel of my own childhood end of the holidays of years returned to my memory.
When the tree and the house are decorated, we will install the nativity scene is the scene of the Nativity. Children have not lost their primary instincts and the scene is generally safer than beautiful, as if they wanted to protect the baby Jesus twenty centuries after his birth. Let them install the Christmas crib while we supervise their work.
The Nativity scene is also an opportunity to educate children about the birth of Jesus and the meaning of Christmas, and it is a fun way to learn history.
Another purpose of the activity holiday per year to share with our family is to walk the streets to discover the gardens decorated with Santa on his sleigh or climbing along the front of houses, the lights on Christmas tree and civic participation at the end of year Events organized by the municipality.
After a long and tiring day, we will enjoy a warm evening watching a Christmas movie with our children, hot chocolate and eat waffles or biscuits.
Here are some basic activities that will create for ourselves and our children, memories of holidays that last a lifetime.
