What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.

Christmas family traditions can be intentional. They can remove the greed and return the focus to the reason for the season. Simplify your family Christmas with these Need, Want, Wear, Read Christmas Gift Tags. Four gifts under the tree. Our gift tags for Christmas also include a Christmas Gift Guide for ideas.

Need, Want, Wear, Read Christmas Gift Tags

Looking for a new Family Christmas Traditions? This is such an easy idea and really simplifies Christmas gift giving. Before beginning your Christmas shopping, focus on four things. Need, Want, Read, Wear. One gift for each category. Eliminate counting gifts under tree. Eliminate greed becoming the focus. Instead of quantity, focus returns to simplicity and allows for a greater focus on the reason for the Christmas season. Return the focus to the true gift of the season – the birth of Christ.

Christmas Gift Ideas

Last year we really tried to limit gifts and focus more on the experience. With that, a friend introduced me to Want Need, Read, Wear Christmas Gift Ideas. I thought it was a brilliant idea. It gives each child four gifts. You can go expensive with these Christmas Gift Giving Rules or you can stay frugal friendly.

Ask your child to help. Tell them you want them to brainstorm gift ideas for the following categories – read, wear, want, need. If they need inspiration, you can share with them our Christmas Gift Guide for ideas.

Want

Action figure or doll
Plush or stuffed animal
Video game
LEGOs
Electronic device
Radio controlled toy
Model building
Science/educational toy
Games
___________
___________

Need

School supplies
Music instrument
Sport equipment

Birthday Family Traditions

You say it’s your birthday! If 2020 has shown us anything, it is how to slow down the pace of life and enjoy our immediate family. Some of the things that social distancing has instilled in our family is hopefully new family traditions including family birthday celebrations. We all took a hit on celebrating with friends, in a restaurant or traveling to far and distant places. This year we learned to celebration those we love by coming up with family birthday ideas!

We have a list of family birthday traditions, birthday time capsules and even a free printable birthday interview for your kid. Create memories and enjoy experiences over buying gifts with these Birthday Family Traditions!

Enjoy – and happy birthday!

Birthday Family Traditions

Let’s talk about family traditions for the birthday. I have learned (as I have had more kids) to keep it simple but special. While that can sound like an oxymoron, it’s important for us to keep the cost low but celebrate the child. One way we have kept birthdays family focused is by having a birthday celebration with friends, every other year. Then every year, we also have a family celebration. Sometimes, we choose to vacation (even if it’s only a weekend getaway) during the overlap of a birthday to make the child feel extra loved while surrounded by those that love her/him most.

Take a look a these family birthday traditions in our original post idea – Family Birthday Celebrations.

Family Birthday Ideas

Have a Birthday Breakfast
Have a “Yes” Day (say yes to everything reasonable)
Fill a Bedroom with Balloons
Have a Birthday Scavenger Hunt
Do Something New
Visit a Favorite Spot
Fill the Yard with Birthday Decorations
Have a Family Game Night (or Day)
Take a Family Trip
Have a Drive By Parade
Use a Birthday Plate and Decorated Birthday Chair
Have Experiences over Gifts (bowling, amusement park, vacations …)
Pay It Forward with a Random Act of Kindess
Add to a Birthday Time Capsule

Pay it Forward on Your Birthday!

One of our favorite family traditions is paying it forward. Use this Pay it Forward Birthday Random Act of Kindess Idea to have your kids give back on their birthday. Stop by the Dollar Tree or event he Dollar Spot of Target and drop off these free printables random acts of kindness notes with a dollar. Reward another child. Kind of like a surprise party favor for a stranger.

Birthday Time Capsule

One way to celebrate your child is to continue a birthday time capsule. You can begin with a first birthday time capsule that you add to every year. This can be smaller box just to represent the first year of life or you can create a large memory box you add to each year. One idea is to go through art work, photographs, saved school work, special moments and see what you want to keep or toss. This is a quick and easy way to declutter as well as save what is important in a yearly time capsule.

What To Include in a Birthday Time Capsule

Newspaper of the Day
Birthday Party Favors and/or Decorations
Money Printed that Year
Artwork
Birthday Invitation
Birthday Cards for Relatives and Friends
Letters to My Daughter or Letters to My Son
Birthday Photos
Handprint Art (or Footprint)
A Message from a Sibling
Yearly facts: Top songs, price of gas, current trends, etc.
Birthday Interview Questions

You can do this for the first birthday and continue on every year. If you will be doing this birthday family tradition annually, grab a larger plastic container.

We also have a time capsule for the Last Day of School. This include a list of questions for your child to fill out year after year. Add to a binder or a memory box and see how your child has changed. Start the tradition in Pre-K or start any year. The Last Day of School Time Capsule Set goes from Pre-K until 12th grade.

Family Bucket List for Halloween

We just shared our Fall Bucket List. I actually printed mine and put it on our refrigerator. The kids were pretty excited to see the different activities we have planned over the next few weeks. With this family bucket list, we wanted to make it a little more specific. Halloween themed.

We created a family bucket list that can begin October 1. You can do a new idea each day. Go in order, or change it up. It does end with October 31, putting on your costume and going trick-or-treating. However, some days might not work in order. For example, visiting a pumpkin patch on a Wednesday might not work for a family working and in school. You might be able to tackle some of these bucket list ideas on one day. You might make candy apples, eat candy corn and and bake pumpkin pancakes in the same day. So take a weekend and make it as Halloween focused as you can, working on your Halloween Family Bucket List.
