Children love seeing the evidence of Santa's visit Christmas Eve. Use some of these ideas to add a little extra magic to your Christmas morning.
1) Make sure to leave cookie crumbs, some nibbled carrots and, spilled milk from snacks left for Santa and the reindeer.
2) Leave a small piece of red velvet fabric by the fireplace after "Santa" leaves out the gifts. The children will find it Christmas morning and think that Santa ripped his suit when squeezing through the chimney.
3) Santa sure can make a mess when he is in a hurry! Sprinkle some ashes about the side of the fireplace and use some large boots to make bootprints in the soot.
4) Sprinkle some white glitter under the tree as Santa's magical Christmas dust.
5) Leave a few large jingle bells out in the lawn as if they fell off of the reindeer harness. You can also make a few gashes in the yard to show where they landed.
6) Have Santa leave a note to the children on the tree, in a stocking, or on the plate of cookies and make them feel extra special. Santa can make sure to remind them to be good all year long. Make sure to tuck the special notes away someplace safe. It will be fun to read what Santa wrote in the coming years.
Spending time with your child is the most magical gift of all. Christmas is one of the best times to focus on your children and make new traditions and memories that they will treasure forever!
