My Family Tradition

My family celebrate Christmas. We decorate a tree with lights, tinsel and baubles. It looks so pretty in the lounge room when the lights are off!

We have a Christmas lunch at our families’ houses on my mums side and dad’s side. We have cooked vegetables and chicken. For dessert we have fruit salad, cheesecake, pavlova and tiramisu. It’s really yummy! We crack Bon Bon’s with each other and I love getting little surprises, jokes and a paper crown inside! Everyone gives gifts to each other and I love un wrapping the christmas paper! 

For us, Christmas is all about spending time with family and friends. On Christmas eve, We leave cookies, and a carrot on a plate with a glass of milk on the dining table. We do this because when Santa comes to deliver presents he has something to eat. He would get very hungry because he has a lot of presents to deliver! We also leave letters by the christmas tree for Santa. Sometimes I also leave a chocolate bar for him as well!

Here is something that you can make at Christmas time!

Print this out and cut along the bold lines of the cube. (This template makes to Christmas gift boxes!)

Colour them in if you like. Then fold along the dotted lines and put glue on all the tabs that say Glue. (Not the big one)

Glue them together so to have two boxes with a lid.

Take some string, elastic (or anything you can find at home) and tape it to the inside of your cube so there is still some hanging out. It is meant to look like a keyring so you can hang it somewhere.

Close the lid and there you have a Christmas gift box!

Here is what it should look like:

Tip: Hang them on your Christmas tree and put surprises inside!
