Every year we go and look at Christmas lights and while we are gone one of Santa's elves drops by and leaves a present for the family on the kitchen table. It is wrapped as well. The kids have named out Christmas elf Buddy. So buddy is who comes and leaves a gift. This year we got a large gingerbread house kit. This is the 2nd year that we have gotten that. We love it and I am hoping that Santa has the elf drop one off every year. It is something we all have fun doing together. We didn't get back early enough from looking at lights to do it that night so we did it the next day for Family Home Evening. It was so much fun. The kids give ideas and decide how they want to do stuff. This year our steps to our house were peppermint candy's and we also put frosty on the roof like they do in the movie Christmas with the Kranks. We don't get to start eating it till Christmas Eve. We usually just eat the candy off and the throw way the gingerbread. We love it though and I am thinking that this has now become a family tradition.
