Christmas Eve

[fairy_gem]

Hi,

I am looking after my best friends little girl who is 2.5 years old on Christmas Eve until 2pm as she is working. I wanted to do something special with her, but can't think what.

Any ideas?

I too was gonna say maybe take her to see santa ??

or maybe bake some christmas cookies for her to leave out for santa xxx

I was thinking about going to see santa but i can't get there as i don't drive and it is not on the bus route .

We could make cookies for santa, thank you.

Any more ideas?

What about going to town to the build a bear shop and making a christmas build-a-bear

I only say this cause it just came on t.v lol xx

You could make a little 'present' to give to mum. Maybe a salt dough tree decoration? thinking lots of glitter and sparkle?

sparkely - Ooh thats a good idea a gift for mum!, thanks, but what is salt dough?...i might Google it.

My parents, sister, and I would always make these when we were younger. And 18 years later they still hang on their Christmas tree

There are lots of things you can do -

*sing Christmas songs together
*watch a Christmas movie (there's BOUND to be tonnes on TV on Christmas Eve if you don't own any yourself)
*read some Christmas stories (or make up your own)
*decorate pine cones with glitter to hang on the tree (cheap and cheerful, just remember to pick some up beforehand so they have a chance to dry out)
*Bake Christmas biscuits, or fairy cakes
*Do some Christmas drawings or make Christmas cards (also there are tonnes of christmas colouring sheets you can print out if she likes colouring)
*Take her for a walk or to a park and tire her out, her mum will thank you!

Think I'll actually steal some of these ideas myself, love the idea of baking christmas cookies for santa then sitting down and watching a christmas movie while they cool.
