Christmas Eve Boxes

[mrscgrey]

I saw this posted on a Christmas FB group and thought it was a great idea.

On Christmas Eve we're going to give each of the children a wrapped Christmas Eve box containing things like their Christmas Eve pyjamas, a mug to make hot chocolate in, some sweets, a christmas activity book, etc in.

Any ideas on other things that could go in there?

Oh how lovely what a great family tradition um, maybe some new slippers? A copy of "the night before Christmas"? X

My mum has done Xmas eve presents for us since we were kids.

We always get pjs, slippers, undies and socks! I'm 30 now and still get one wry year!

She also holds a party every Xmas eve which was created for grans etc to dip off presents. In going to start doing it this year! Can't wait!

I totally believe in Santa!

So far I have got:-

Kaye - 14. She has got pyjamas with matching squishy slipper socks and a Santa mug.

Lucy - 11. She has got pyjamas with matching socks and a santa mug.

MJ - 6. She has got pyjamas and a santa mug.

Harry - 2 He has his pyjamas.

I need to get:-

for Kaye - Teen magazine, marshmallows, hot chocolate sachet. Some Jelly Belly jelly beans. I love the idea of a decoration for the tree.

for MJ - Fluffy socks, Christmas themes activity book, marshmallows, hot chocolate sachet. Jelly Bellys and a santa stop here sign.

Harry - Christmas themed bib, hard christmas themed book. Christmas sweets. No sure what else to put in for the little guy lol

Reindeer food would be great for my 6 yr old. I think I will add that.

Every year I take Imogen to Xmas eve mass. As she gets in the car, on her bed I leave her special pjs and a Christmas book.

She thinks its the Christmas fairies... I still get excited about it!!!

I managed to get the socks that I wanted for DD's box today. Would you believe that I was stressing about getting the right socks. How bizzare
