It's so important that we remember that children love to give gifts as much as they love to receive them. Provide them with lots of opportunities (and help) to make small gifts to give to everyone.Wrap their gifts with paper and ribbon and present them to family members with as much fanfare as store bought gifts.Watch the happiness on your child's face when the gifts they made are opened and admired.
We made applesauce ornaments last week. They are fun for the kids to make and they smell like Christmas. Just mix equal amounts of cinnamon and applesauce (about 1/2 cup each makes a good amount). The kids made them with cookie cutters.
Snow Ice Cream
1/2cup milk or cream or evaporated milk
1/4 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup sugar
2 cereal bowls fresh clean snow
Mix milk, sugar and vanilla together. Stir until vanilla is dissolved. Add fresh snow and stir gently until it is thoroughly mixed. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
We made this last year and the kids loved it. I think they had just as much fun collecting the snow as eating the ice cream. (Thanks for the fun recipe Joslin!)

Snow ice cream sounds like Sugar Snow, from Little House on the Prairie. Can't wait to try it!
