[quote=Anonymous]In addition to a lot of the things above:
1) our kids each pick a charity every year (last year it was a sea turtle nonprofit for DC1 and a lion nonprofit for DC2), and then the kids get a small gift from Santa with a note thanking them for thinking of the xxx (lions/sea turtles/etc)
2) we send notes to Santa and get a return message with a North Pole post office stamp (usps does this— but you have to do it super early)
3) we tried to make The Nutcracker a tradition; but this is year 3 and I don’t think either kid is excited to go. They loved it year 1, but the magic wore off.  
4) a billion different types of cookies that the kids can help bake (not just decorate).  Spritz cookies (the kind you kind of squeeze out of a cookie press) are great for kids and are less work than decorating sugar cookies 
5) our kids love the advent wreath, if it’s part of your religious tradition.  They get to take turns blowing them out every week when it’s time to light the new candle. [/quote]
