Christmas Eve Box Ideas For Kids:
1. Christmas Pajamas

While the book Twas The Night Before Christmas book is always a favorite there are plenty of other great Christmas stories the kids will enjoy!

What a cute idea! We do a present pass on the night before because I agree, it helps give you something fun when the anticipation is high. My children are now older, but that present pass is still a firm part of our tradition.
You are never too old for Christmas traditions. The kids still love them (and expect them) every year!
Looks like a box full of fun!
I used to love family movie night in comfy pajamas.
Fond memories for sure, Laura! Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season!
Great ideas! (would love to enter the prize giveaway, but I don’t do Pinterest)
