[quote=Anonymous]I'm a single mom, one kid, no family at all around. My best advice to you is to work with what your kid likes. Do they like to bake? Bake! Do they like movies? Have a movie. Do something you can always do together and turn it into a ritual. Are they old enough to decide what they like or tell you? Ask them. Buy matching Christmas socks/blankets, etc. My kid and I love baking, so we bake cookies and make hot chocolate. We love movies, so we do movie nights. He loves waffles, so I do waffles in the morning, and whatever he wants for lunch (he helps). We go around looking at lights and trees. We put up the tree together, etc. I don't have him on actual Christmas so we do it after. [/quote]
