Making Christmas magic for pre-schoolers

[sheeplikessleep]

DSs are 3 years and 9 months and I'm thinking about what xmas traditions we would like to have in the sheep household!

As well as the necessary (stockings, christmas dinner etc etc), what other things do you do to make Christmas magical in your house? What traditions do you have? What memories would you like your LOs to have as they get older?

Not that I'm looking to steal ideas

We've got one of those really naff singing, dancing santas which we get out every year, The DC love it, although it can get quite annoying.

This year is the first year DS is old enough to know really (2 1/2)
We are planning to cuddle up on the sofa on Christmas eve and watch santa claus the movie, we have said we are not leaving the house this year and GP's can come and visit us late morning. so we will have christmas dinner mid aft, hoping for a little snow on christmas day so we can play out after dinner, we will see.
I am so bloody excited!!!
