This year, I'm throwing in the (decorative) towel. I'm stepping back. The kids are in charge of Christmas now. No, they're not taking over everything - I'm not insane - but at almost 10 and 12, they are old enough to do more than sit back and wait for the magic to appear.
When I brought this idea to my kids, their confusion quickly gave way to enthusiasm. They've always had opinions about Christmas, but now they'll have a say in making it happen.
Their ideas began to flow quickly. From classics like gingerbread house designs to the more ambitious like constructing a chocolate fountain. They've collaborated on a wish list for decorations.
Plans are taking shape for an elf costume contest, caroling for our friends, and even a DIY advent calendar where every day is a wacky dare.
