Christmas Eve
1. Mini Gingerbread Houses
~ These gingerbread houses are adorable! Made using graham crackers
instead of the traditional gingerbread they are easier to build! Perfect
to make with your kids this Christmas!
2. Gingerbread Cookie Recipe
~ Decorating gingerbread cookies is a Christmas tradition I’ve always
enjoyed, so this year I decided to spice things up by making large
gingerbread people who represent my real-life friends and family, and to
give each individual their own respective cookie as a Christmas gift.
3. The Mini-Van Express Ticket
~ Ready to start a Christmas tradition that the whole family will
enjoy? I know you’ve all seen The Polar Express, well, this is our own
version of that fun adventure! Each year we hide the “Golden Tickets” in
our kids’ beds. My husband starts the bedtime routine as usual, while I
prepare little bags of popcorn and hot chocolate drinks and place them
in the car, oh and don’t forget to have Christmas music playing in the
car too!
4. Christmas Eve Pajama Pants
~ This is an easy tutorial showing how to make a pair of pajama pants.
With this clever pattern idea you could make a pair for the whole
family… maybe even in a Christmas theme! My family tradition is to give
new pajamas on Christmas Eve. This tutorial is for size infant to 8
years.
5. Curly Toed Stocking {free pattern}
~ You can make a cute Santa stocking to bring holiday cheer to all
(well even more if you fill it up with fun treats). This pattern comes
in two styles and sizes.
6. Nativity Costumes ~ Make nativity costumes in one size fits most for a recreation of the night Jesus was born.

invited us to come set up luminaries today throughout the entire
neighborhood. It’s a Christmas Eve Tradition they do every year.

This Pin the Nose on the Reindeer game is a version of the classic Pin
the Tail on the Donkey. The reindeer shapes were cut from card stock and

tape/glue the shapes to card board and eliminate the usage of thumb
tacks.
