The Flavour of Christmas Memories

As Christmas Time and holidays for children are approaching, we wonder how we are going to entertain our children during the end of year holidays.

Holiday season is the best moment to share activities between adults and children.

The first of these activities is to get back into the mood for the magic and the festive spirit of this holiday by visiting shopping malls having created beautifully window decors; which are an eternally renewed delight for the children and their parents.

Some shopping malls are also organizing areas consisting of a path to the lighting, decorations, displayed scenes from Christmas movies, train sets and toys simulating real situations; static or interactive decorations as a fire truck and fire fighters helping the victims of a fire or the express of the King's Cross railway station platform 9-3/4 bringing Harry Potter and his friends at Hogwarts.

A little further on, after seeing Rudolph surrounded by elves and goblins relaxing on a fairy forest, we enter in the fantastic house of Barbie; which contains 35 rooms decorated for the December 24th Eve. Do not disturb her, she is hosting a Christmas party.

Another three steps and we will enter in the victorian area of this Christmas dream: hundreds of beautiful teddy bears are playing in a green grass area. Ten meters after them, we are approaching a bedroom where luxurious old fashioned porcelain dolls are sleeping in their cradle.

At the end of this path, we meet Santa Claus, sitting on a golden seat and waiting for our children to communicate their wish list to him.

A picture of Santa Claus holding our child on his laps closes this magical journey that reminds us the taste and the atmosphere of our own childhood. This fairy journey will also become our first Christmas memory of the year.

Christmas Gifts that Boys Want

Having worked with children in a school allowed me to learn more about the kind of gits they really want. And so, the boys still like boys oriented games and toys even with the advent of the high technologies.

Boys aged between 4 and 12 years old favorite toys are

Jeep or Helicopter
Tractor
Batman
Spiderman
Comic strip heroes accessories
Electric guitar
Drums
Whenever they would like to get a video station or game, their choice is
Playstation
Nintendo DS
WII
XBox 360
Dragonball
Street Fighter
Medal of Honor
As for my teenager son, his favorite Christmas gift is Mangas, those Japanese books that seem being a must have for teens.

Christmas Gifts that Girls Want

The turn of the girls, am I right?

Ok, I also asked the girls aged between 4 and 12 years old the kind of Christmas gift they would like to get, and here's the answer - softer than those of the boys ;)

Barbie
A baby doll
A doll house
Some doll accessories
Fairy tales
Bridget Jones' Diary
In any case, all the kids interviewed wouldn't consider that there's No Christmas without chocolate, candy, marzipan or any other sweets.

Christmas is a wonderful holiday, filled with delicious foods, festive decorations, family and friends.

Here's a nice book filled with 50+ Christmas printable coloring pages that will encourage the creativity of your kids.
