We decorated mini gingerbread houses today.
I used to avoid this because I thought it was too much work, but kids of all ages and genders love doing this. It fits all my criteria for a good holiday activity, it brings us together as a family, we all enjoy it, I get to bake, it's worth the work. I start this activity by building anticipation. I tell the kids where I am going to display them and we talk about the kinds of candies that they might want to try and incorporate this year. It was fun today, Dad even joined us in the kitchen, he made snicker-doodles. Now I have cute little colorful houses to mix in the garland that I have hanging above the stove and sliding glass door.
