Christmas Crafts for Kids
Christmas is the perfect time to settle down to some good kids
crafts: the days are short, the cold discourages playing outside, crafting will
keep your kids busy and take away some of their impatience and excitement while
they wait for Christmas Day to arrive, and with families and friends visiting
your house there is no better time to display some of your children's crafty talents
proudly!

"If I had my life to live over I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains."
Erma Bombeck
"Whoever you are, there is some younger person who thinks you
are perfect. There is some work that will never be done if you
don't do it. There is someone who would miss you if you were
gone. There is a place that you alone can fill."
Jacob M. Braude
