We all love Christmas, with the lights, hot chocolate, beautiful music and the wonderful memories of Chrstmases gone past. I know we all get a little frustrated with the din and all the headaches of preparing, so it helps to relax with some activities and maybe we can start feeling like we did when we were kids.
