Let’s Bring Joy To Our Tiny Angels This Holiday Season

When we think of Christmas and kids, there are several things that come to mind—decorations, toys and sweets to name a few. Despite the anticipation of Santa arriving with tons of gifts for children, the holiday season is much more meaningful for little ones than we may realize. So, just what does Christmas and the holiday season really mean to kids?

By far the most important aspect of Christmas time for kids is time spent with their loved ones. The winter holidays represent one of the fun times of the year families can take some time off from the hustle and bustle of everyday life to really enjoy being with one another. Sometimes, kids can feel ignored when their parents are busy trying to balance work and home life, despite how hard mom and dad try to give them the attention they need. After all, there are only so many hours in the day!  During the winter break, though, everyone can take a break from their normal schedules to appreciate the most important people in their lives. Whether you’re cooking together, wrapping presents, watching Christmas movies on TV, or simply hanging out together in the family room, all kids enjoy being surrounded by family members who love them. For most kids, the more the merrier—children love being with mom, dad, and siblings, but they also enjoy having time to get together with grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles too! Family time spent together make the holidays truly magical for little ones.

Kids live in the moment, doing their best to enjoy every second of the day as it passes. Our children at ABC had a fun craft session for Christmas decorations where they made Santa masks, Christmas bells and Santa socks from scratch. The atmosphere in the school was filled with laughter, cheer and excitement with little children giggling away in joy. It is the warmth of their smile and the gleam in their eyes that lights up our lives and we must try to keep it intact. This winter break, let’s devote some quality time to our little angels because without them our lives would be meaningless. A very Merry Christmas from the entire team of ABC Montessori.
