Welcome to my Holiday Gift Guide - Sharing great ideas for Christmas Eve Gifts!
Some popular Christmas Eve gifts are Pajamas, especially for little kids. Christmas Journals are fun for teenage girls, and Boys like novelty T-shirts and caps to wear and act goofy in front of the camera with.
We started a tradition of getting a Nutcracker every year, with the idea of having a "collection" for our son, but he's worn them out playing with them so much. So his Nutracker gift on Christmas Eve is usually a replacement for the poor fella that bit the dust last year! Oh well, as long as he has fun! They are toys after all!
Christmas is meant to be enjoyed! So let's celebrate a little early with some of these special Christmas Eve Gift finds!
Nutcrackers
Growing up it was always about brand new (warm & snuggly) PJ's
Our Christmas Eve gift was always a new gown or pair of pajamas. To me the crisp new material, even though it was a little scratchy sometimes, meant Santa was really getting close!
I recall the excitement of curling up in Nana's big soft feather guest bed (if I was lucky enough to snag it!) in my new pajamas as I lay awake as long as I possibly could. Counting every stitch on my new duds as I listened for reindeer. Always listening...... listening....

Ribbon Candy for Christmas Eve
The nice thing about these beautiful ribbon candies is that they last a long time! Almost as exciting as peppermint candy canes on Christmas Day, the ribbon candy we got to eat Christmas Eve was a special treat all its own!
Thin Ribbon Candy - 7 oz box assorted flavors
Sevigny's is the thin ribbon candy you remember. Each strip measures 4 inches long and 1 inch wide. It's one of our favorite Christmas candies.

One more thing for Christmas Eve
And all through the Holiday Season
Opening up the puzzle though, on Christmas Eve (or even before) was always a bit exciting. We all wanted to see the challenge ahead of us this year. I remember one year it was a crazy zigzag pattern, and another a plain white board (I'm not sure if we ever finished that one)
This lens is part of the 'What the Dickens' Quest
Here are some of the other lenses I have made for this challenge
I started with things that are popular this year, and am moving into things that are more from my life and what I like as well.
One thing I did for each one (so far) is to write either a little story or a poem about the topic.
Thank you for being a part of my incredible Squidoo Life!
