I’d like to think it’s the joy and the wonder that makes me love Christmas so much, but maybe it’s really all of the chocolate and baked goods… 🙂

Homemade Nonpareils
My mom and I are huge fans of nonpareils, and I was so excited to make them at home last year. My only regret is that I never end up with as many as I hoped when making a batch!

Felt Tree Ornaments
These felt tree ornaments are among the very first crafts I ever did with my big girls! I’ve enjoyed repeating it with each of my kids, and I think I’ll add it to our Christmas plan to do with our two-year-old (and most likely a few of his big sisters again!) this year.

Chocolate Candy Cane Blossoms
These cookies are insanely rich. They’re a mess to roll out but well worth every bit of it when you take your first bite!

Printable Advent Chain
Advent chains are a fun way to count down the days until Christmas, and this one comes with pre-printed activities (plus blank chains for you to customize or give yourself a break!) for the holiday season. It’s one of my favorite Christmas projects that we’ve ever done!

Printable Santa Letter Templates
Use these printable templates to write a letter to Santa Claus as well as his reply on official North Pole stationery!
Do you have any traditions you’ve repeated with your kids when they were a certain age?
