Most libraries have special displays of holiday books. Check out books to read aloud as a family. You will want to find books that relate to your holiday rituals, but you may also want to explore the holiday traditions of other religions and cultures. Talk about how holiday practices are similar and how they differ. Create a Family Newsletter.
Many families share news during the holiday season.
Ask your child if she would like to create an extended family newsletter. She could call, write, or email family members and interview them. Your child can use your home computer, a computer at school or the local library to compose and layout the newsletter. You can help your child send the newsletter, email it to family members online, or even setup a family webpage. Ask your child to add a line or two of writing to the holiday cards you send.
