5 Christmas Eve crate ideas
Here with the help of this beautiful North Pole Delivery crate from Vintage apple crates. I have compiled 5 great Christmas Eve crate ideas for young and old.
As I’ve said before we celebrate Christmas on Christmas eve night and so we avoid the night before Christmas over excited kids as they’ve had the whole day to run this off.
I do know that a lot of my friends have turned to Christmas Eve boxes as a way of calming the kids down and making Christmas eve a special and magical night in itself.
Christmas Eve Movie night
I love a movie night with the family and what better way to wind down and get ready for bed. Cuddle up on the sofa, drink hot chocolate and chill with a new or classic Christmas movie.
