Twas the Night Before Christmas Basket

Provided by: Jorbins.com

Twas the night before Christmas and my family all relaxed with hot chocolate and cookies while either my mom or dad read the book "The Night Before Christmas."

Just thinking about the memories of those past Christmas's brings a smile to my face. My brother's and sister's and I could usually hardly contain our excitement - Santa was coming!

This is such a simple basket to make and the whole family can enjoy it.

Of course the main "ingredient" in this basket is a copy of "the night before Christmas" of course.

Then I include enough hot chocolate and cookies for the whole family to enjoy.

Sometimes I add in a candle or a pretty ornament if I find one that I feel fits the occasion.

One other thing you can include is a pretty Christmas plate with Santa on it. That way if they want to they can leave Santa a cookie or two on it. Maybe even a few carrot strips for the reindeer if you think the kids would enjoy it. If you do include the carrot strips you may want to include a note to explain what they are for!

I also usually include a couple bags of microwave popcorn into it as well, then I decorate it with pretty ribbon and a bow.

One added touch is on the card I write the name of everyone in the family. I think it adds more fun to the kids to see their own names on the card.
