Are your kids eager to Christmas to get here? The closer to Christmas, most of the children get hurt. Do not tell anyone, but I think I'm as excited as children.

Do you remember Christmas when you were a kid? The wonder and excitement increased daily as that day Special approached. The real magic of Christmas is in memory it creates. Some of my best memories involve simple low cost things we did with (and for) our children when they were young.

Exit to select our Christmas tree was always a great time. We would sing carols in the car all the way to the farm Christmas trees. With a saw in hand, our troops into the camp in search of the perfect tree. Sometimes it takes hours, but we loved every minute of it cold.

One year, we have chosen a particularly large tree. It was so big he could not carry it in the car. We had to ask farmers to help us carry it out. The farmer arrived a few minutes later with his 16-year-old daughter in tow. Together, the two of them had the tree all the way to the car. Imagine my embarrassment when I saw a girl and her father bore the tree when I could not. The family still gives me a hard time about it and call me "sissy" every time we gather for Christmas family gatherings.

Make an effort to create memories that last a lifetime! It need not be expensive. Our annual Christmas tree tour is an example of the fun things you can do as a family that can provide a lifetime value of laughter.

Participate with their children, doing crafts, projects and activities with them. I remember an activity, using nothing more than a piece of cheap fabric, we created a gift for our five years of age. It was a simple inexpensive gift we have done for less than a dollar. The real value of the gift was a wonderful story that we have developed over the object. Their shouts of joy and the look of absolute amazement of his face when she found Christmas morning is priceless. What's more, she was the envy of his neighborhood friends, when he showed them his precious treasure!

You can create lasting memories in many ways. For starters, there is a great website for young children. It is called Plaza de Santa Claus. It is a diary of the activities of Santa Claus, which began Oct. 1. In it, Santa talks directly to your child (or grandchild). It asks questions, informs them of how the elves and reindeer, singing songs, etc. Your children will thank you!
