So I was helping my mother clean out her garage the other day and I found a box full of all my old Christmas decorations from when I was younger... it brought back so many memories! I remember dressing up with my cousin and putting on a little song and dance for the family. I want my kids to have great memories like that one day!

I know it's a little early to be talking about Christmas, but I need time to plan.....Does anyone have any extra special ideas for making this year an unforgettable Christmas for my kids?

Anything they can help with are wonderful memories, and it keeps them calm! I have a 10yo step son who has ADHD, and whenever I have him help me (usually in the kitchen) he is completely calm and focuses on the matter at hand. Kids especially love anything they can dig their hands into, so mixing the dough for things are perfect. Look on the internet for recipes, there's a million of them.
