Healthy Essentials Holiday Tips and Savings!

This post is part of the HEALTHY ESSENTIALS® 2014 program by Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc. and The Motherhood, who sent me a box of products and compensated me for my time. Opinions, experiences and photos shared here are all my own, and I hope you enjoy them.

Mom’s Lifesavers wants to wish our fabulous readers a wonderful holiday this year! Christmas is around the corner and while our home celebrates both Christmas and Hanukkah, we will focus on the Christmas tips we do in our home.

Some Christmas Traditions we LOVE!

• The ‘Elf on a Shelf’ tradition is a fun and popular tradition.
• Read holiday stories before bed each night. We love The Polar Express, Santa Mouse, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
• Decorate your tree. Make it a special time with the entire family with holiday music and hot chocolate.
• Holiday Movie Night! Miracle on 34th Street, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Christmas Vacation, and The Christmas Story.
• Make ornaments for the tree.
• Write a letter to Santa.
• Make a snow globe!
• Decorate your home. Making your own decorations can be very meaningful.
• Buy matching pajamas for Christmas morning gift opening!

Neighborhood Tradition Ideas

• Go caroling with a group of friends and family.
• Take in a local production of a Christmas show. We love the The Nutcracker and A Christmas Carol.
• Drive around the neighborhood taking in all the Christmas lights. We love having the kids dress in their pajamas for the ride!
• Deliver a card and homemade cookies to your neighbors.
• Visit Santa!
• Hit the slopes, go sledding, ice skating, or other outdoor winter activities with your family.

Gift Giving Ideas

• Shop local.  Try and keep your hard earned cash as local as possible.
• Large families enjoy drawing names and purchasing one gift.  Set a dollar limit.
• ‘Gifts for Kids’ only rule is usually great for large families. We do it!
• Have a Yankee Swap or a fun gag gift tradition.
