We would love for you and your family to participate in the 12 Days of Christmas Family Fun… it’s so easy (and super fun!)

I'm so excited about this fun Christmas family tradition!! 12 Days of Family Christmas Fun ~ Includes printables and super cute ideas!

The easiest instructions, ever…

1.  Print off as many sheets of Theme Tags as you have children participating.  There are two sheets needed for each child, days 1-6 and days 7-12.  See and print below.

12 Days of Christmas Family Fun ~ Days 1-6 Theme Tags

Theme Tags Days 1 – 6

12 Days of Christmas Family Fun ~ Theme Tags Days 7-12

Theme Tags Days 7 -12

2.  Each day, for 12 days in December, leave a small gift with the corresponding tag, announcing the theme for the day attached, next to their bed, for them to find when they wake up.  (The gifts can be a small piece of candy, dollar store prize, or whatever.  Or, it can just be the tag, no gift.  You choose!)

3.  Throughout the day, do activities related to the theme for the day!!  You can come up with your own ideas or if you want some suggestions, just stop by the blog for our round-ups of super cute and simple ideas related to the theme.  The ideas will be released daily on the blog, December 1st through December 12th, in the announced order. If you share any pics, use hashtags #12daysofchristmasfamilyfun, so we can see the fun that you and your family came up with!

Here’s the days and lots of ideas!
