We started a new Christmas tradition a few years back with a small box. Each of us put something small or a letter in and then the next Christmas we put it under the tree. On Christmas Eve we open it up and share the items and read the letters. It has been great.
This year I encourage you to start a new Christmas tradition!
What you'll need:
Cookie tin; washed and dried
Rag
Sandpaper
Spray paint
"Painters" paint markers in assorted colors
stickers, jewels or other adornments for your can
small journal for each family member (the dollar store has lots of these)
How to make it:
Take lid off the tin.
Lightly sand the cookie tin (lid and bottom) all over on the outside to rough up the paint.
Wipe the cookie tin off with rag.
Spread out newspapers and place cookie tin on it.
Spray paint the cookie tin. Let dry.
Use paint markers to add your message. Some sample messages might be:
Words from your favorite Christmas Carols
Family members names could go around the exterior of the tin
A favorite scripture
Embellish with glue on jewels or stickers.
Let each member of your family write our draw a journal entry and place their journal in the can.
Some other small items to place in the tin or journal ideas could be:
A DVD with family pictures...
Your Christmas Wish list
A note to each family member telling them how much you appreciate them.
Place the tin under the tree and wait for Christmas Eve (or morning, or dinner).
