jorose, what jetty said about the little vouchers is a fab idea, i was goin to type a list out on the computer of all the films i sky+ and let the children choose from that, but i like the idea of Jetty's about the little cards! Thanks!!!

it is a good idea i will get some big gift tags to use as vouchers i need one to write the poem on for the reindeer food i just made

A tip for reindeer food, i wanted sparkle without making it bad for birds so i put cake glitter dust in a tub with hamster food gave it a shake and it has gone really silver and sparkely i only used a little bit, im very pleased with it

I have not heard of this tradition before, but what a wonderful one it is.

I think you Mums and Dads that are doing this are very special and your little people will remember this traidtion and pass on to their children - how wonderful is that? :T

My son is 21 but I think I shall make up a small hamper for him - he would love it.

Many thanks for sharing and the ideas that have come from this.

Seasons Greetings one and all :xmassmile

What an excellent idea. My dd is nearly 5 and will be spending christmas eve afternoon with my parents as I'm at work until 8pm. I found this thread this afternoon so have got some hot choc sachets and some marsh mallows. Will get dd some new PJ's tomorrow and ask my mum to bath her. Won't be able to do the dvd really but it will start off a tradition fo continuing next year.
Parents will get mugs with the hot choc etc too-I'm all excited now-so much for having finished my christmas shopping!!!!
Thankyou.

You could still do a DVD, I'm sure it will be just as nice for your daughter to cudle up with Granny in the afternoon for a while.

Just check for your mum's input on he title of the DVD first lol
