Another great activity to do with the kids… although it is a little late to do this now…but to make links and tie them to their bed post or perhaps even get them a little tree of their own for their rooms. Put as many links on and together as days left before the actually Christmas day. Have the child take a link off of the chain for each day…it is a fun count down for them as well as being a nice little and short craft project that you can do with your children.
