That's lovely! My most favorite holiday activity would be knitting but baking cookies is a close second and sledding is a close third and drinking mint-cocoa is a close fourth... I'm so glad I found your blog!
We take a christmas eve picture every year, then display it with our yearly decorations. Love it.

best thing to do with kids? making gum drop wreaths!
thanks for a great giveaway! I am due in April, no children yet, and am already thinking about traditions to start with him! Right now, decorating and Christmas eve mass are my two favorite traditions!
Cookie making!
Hmmm fav activity? Probably just sitting in my living room at night when the kids are asleep and it's all quiet and seeing the Christmas tree lights twinkle. And also wrapping presents:) Oh and hearing the kids squeal with delight when they see a really cool yard decorated!!
Making gingerbread cookies with kids is the best, mine can't control gorging themselves on the dough so we're make cinnamon ornaments this year (you won't want to eat that dough). Here is a recipe for it: http://crafts.kaboose.com/cinnamon-dough-ornaments.html
Baking cookies, most definitely :)
Building snowmen! We just had our first snow!
OK my favorite thing to do with small kids (and big kids and adults) is to make a dr. Seuss meal on christmas eve-- who hash, roast beast, who pudding and the like...all taken from a Dr. Seuss cookbook!
well this is my second Christmas with my daughter. Last night actually we went to the mayors Christmas tree lighting. I think we are going to have to make it a tradition!

Always the cookie making with the little ones. Everyone ends up wearing more dough and frosting than we make, but we all love it. Adn talk about some gawd-awful looking cookies! :)
ah, the classic paper chain and gingerbread house. I clean up sprinkles from now until January! :)
How adorable! I love anything in miniature! My favorite activity right now is the advent calendar. I filled it with slips of paper that have a fun holiday activity written on them for the whole family to participate in...family fun and budget friendly!

I love this!! My favorite Christmas activity was always cutting down a christmas tree with my parents.
I love decorating cookies with my children!
My favorite activity for small kids would be going to the zoo. The one by my house has all the lights up and you can walk around and see some of the animals. It's great fun.
I love this. So pretty!!

At our house although the children are no longer small, but we always love making gingerbread house for any holiday.

making gingerbread houses, we have fun and they end up eating most of it before it is frosted down.
Oh that is perfect, I am looking for a house ornament to celebrate our big move.
I love walking around looking at the lights on houses.
My daughters are adults now but when they were little we would bake cookies and make decorations. Love your giveaway.

I love Christmas decorations with vintage look and I absolutley love the little house covered with glitter.
I love to have some of my daughter's friends over to decorate sugar cookies. The kids get a bit hyper from the all of the sugar but it really is fun.

Oh, I love these!!!! I want one!!!
My favorite thing is to have our own "tree lighting ceremony" for our tree in the house. IT is a magical moment :)
OOps. What do we do? Cookies. Lots of cookie eating. And making pound cake. Lots of pound cake...none of which we ever keep--they are all given away (after making 9-13 of them, the smell is enough...lol)
I love looking at lights with my kids and listening to them oooo and aaaah. I also love taking out our nativity set with them and telling the story.
I enjoy baking with my children.

Making cookies.
Thank you for the chance at your giveaway and have a great holiday.
When the weather turns cold, I crave knitting :u) My daughter is just 11 mo, so I don't have much of a wealth of kid-friendly holiday activities - whenever we do "activities" together, it usually ends up with her just putting everything in her mouth, or dropping it on the floor. Or "unpacking" it. She's pretty good at that! :u) She does love music though. Maybe I'll get out our Christmas music today and we can rock together.
This is absolutely beautiful!
Make crafts with kids!!! That's my favorite thing to do!
OH OH OH!!! (that's Ho Ho Ho backwards ;) OMG, I love love LOVE thoses house OH SO MUCH!!! I've always wanted a little village like that to display for the holidays - Please PLEASE enter me in your drawing. I would give these the BESTEST home! I promise! Thank you!!! ;)
I love those little houses! My favorite Christmas activity with kids is putting out the nativity set and watching them interact with it.
My daughter would LOVE these! Pick me! Pick me!
Making and eating peanut butter candy.
Our advent paper chain is my fave. and cookie baking. fun stuff!
I love your little houses. I really want to start a collection of them so here's to hoping I win!!
We love making ornaments every year, love it!

How beautiful. Please include me in your drawing. thank you.
My favorite tradition is making a gingerbread house with my kids!
certainly it should go to someone in the family!!
Those little houses are adorable. I would love one!
My favorite activity with the kids is decorating the tree. My 4 year old has really gotten into it this year, the 2 year old loses interest after the 2nd ornament!
Well, since my first son is only two then we haven't had many holiday events, but so far this year is making and decorating cookies. He gets so messy and just giggles the whole time.
Oh how we loved taking our little kids to look at Christmas lights. We still love going even though my "little" kids are 20,19,16 and 13!
Happy Holidays.
Oh, those are beautiful! My favorite holiday activity to do with a child is - at least this year - decorating gingerbread houses. My daughter and I just used a graham cracker house, I frosted it, and she had such fun sticking all the candies on it. More candy ended up in her mouth than on the house, but that's all part of the fun.
Gingerbread houses, sugar cookies, hot chocolate well I don't get to enjoy hot chocolate yet seeing how it is still so darn hot here. I love the houses though.
