Jingle bells are one of my favorite sounds of the season! The traditional song is one of the first carols we teach young kids (my daughter already likes yelling the “hey” part), and we introduce bells to them as soon as they can shake their fists! There are many beautiful children’s books that have used the traditional song to tell a Christmas story.

The smell of gingerbread is such a pleasant part of the holiday season. The cheerful decorating of houses, people and animals made out of the sweet dough is another fun tradition for many families. The sweet and spicy smell and the fun of decorating inspired me to create these fun activities to pair with an adorable book by Jan Brett.

Do you remember the joy and wonder you experienced as a child during the holiday season? From Halloween straight through New Years, your days were probably full of songs, games, gifts, food and parties. As we get older, we start to feel some of that magic fade away. We rack up the bills buying gifts, baking supplies, tickets to holiday shows, and more. We stress ourselves to the limit making travel plans, planning parties and making sure that we get every minute filled with holiday fun to try to get back some of that joy we felt as kids. Does overbuying and overplanning really bring back the joy?
