[Glitterfairy]

I'm going to make snowman soup as gifts this years and i always make reindeer food with big glitter and oats and make a reindeer with a pouch for it to go in.Then i put a little poem onto the reindeer.
Might sell some on Ebay this year. x

snow man soup is a double serving of hot chocolate, choc chips, marshmallows and a "spoon!-usually either a candy cane or a chocolate matchstick thing x

 

[kirmal12]

Which reminds me a need to look out for a mug/cup suitable for Myles to try it!. And for me too!. OH can't have it as he can't eat cow's milk.

 

[Siyren]

dont they do a "free from" version of hot chocolate hun?

 

[kirmal12]

Not yet but from this year most definatly. I'm going to do a Christmas Hamper on Christmas Eve and in it will be PJ's (new), snowman soup, a Christmas DVD and a couple of other little things.
He will be having a stocking and food for Santa and the reindeer!.

Can you tell me what snowman soup is please, my son would love the sound of that! xxx

Siyren has explained it really well ^^^. It's hot Chocolate with a mix of whatever you want really, marshmallows are always a hit!. You put all the dry ingredients in a mug (or something similar) and then it can be made whenever the person likes, not forgetting a "spoon" of sorts, candy cane etc...

I think my LO will be to young this year but i will give it a go

Thanks that sounds lovely! I will defo be making that. My son told me there was no such thing as Santa the other day as his friend said, I told him its a shame his friend wont be getting any presents this year if he didnt believe in Santa. My son soon changed his mind and Santas real again now, lol. xxxx

We are lucky enough to have a santa's grotto near us at christmas so we always visit that, then Xmas eve we go the theatre and see what ever kids theatre show they are doing there, i told my mum in March that she would be babysitting Scott-Antonio for a couple of hours (our little man due in November) on Xmas eve while me and Ellie went to the theatre We leave a glass of milk and some cookies out for Santa too.

I want to take Myles to Panto this year but i think he is to young I can't imagine him sitting still for that long!

 

[Blah11]

oooh what are you using as reindeer dust?!

lyssa is now in bed!!!- we do film and a takeaway on xmas eve, and new pj's, i read "twas the night before christmas" to her, and stockings of course! this year we're gonna put out homemade cookies that we'll have made that day- for santa!

oats and glitter i think!

 

[Blah11]

My bubba doesnt like chocolate flavoured things (other than chocolate) so no snowman soup for us

 

[Strawberries]

I have a few from when I was yoounger that I hope to carry on with my kids:
New pjs on Christmas Eve
Watching a Christmas movie with hot choc and biscuits
Putting milk and biscuits out for santa/ water and carrots for Rudolph
Stocking being lain out on the bed during the night to be opened before getting up in the morning

 

[Strawberries]

Snowman Soup sounds yummy! Will be giving that a go this year!

You can also just get plain cocoa powder and make it up with soya milk and sugar

Yup!

Has to be put into cute little christmassy cloth bags for the kids to have one each of and sprinkle about! So that santa's reindeer can find where we live!
