Remember to keep things basic if you're part of a household with little children. The thrill of Christmas Eve, Christmas morning, and some new toys (if your family gives gifts) is a lot for a small kid or toddler to take in in such a short amount of time. They may not understand why they can't open all their presents right away, or maybe you should save some surprises for Christmas night. If you have an older child or teenager, make sure they know what activities are expected of them today. Maybe let them help you prepare breakfast - it will give them a sense of responsibility and also be good for them to feel involved in the process instead of just being served dinner like a servant. If they know what's going on, then they can help out after we've had our fill of turkey and trimmings this afternoon. Finally, remember that kids need love on Christmas Day too! Make sure you spend some time with them, even if only for a few minutes. Tell them how much you appreciate them being you sons or daughters, and give them hugs and kisses. They'll understand that it's important to show affection even on the biggest day of the year.
