’twas the night before Christmas …
… And (let’s be honest, here) all through the house was mayhem. So we love the trend of a Christmas Eve box for tots and tweens. A pair of new festive pyjamas or slippers, a story book, a sweet and mug of warm chocolate, given an hour or so before bedtime. Which gives you time to read them a story, for some special quiet family time, and then … sleep tight … time for Santa to do his thing!
