Making little memories and traditions year after year is always what means the most to me during the holiday season. We have many fun Christmas traditions that my kids look forward to year after year. One of their favorites is our North Pole Breakfast. This usually happens when our Elf, Tinsel arrives. If you don’t have an elf, or want to do it later in the month, that is totally fun too! This is an excuse to have some fun decor, and a few sugary treats in the morning!

Check out my top gift ideas for Moms, teens, and kids!
