The 5 Themes:
- Holiday Colors
- Celebrate the season by wearing red, green, white, gold, or silver! Want to make it extra special? Have your kids design their own holiday t-shirt using iron-on vinyl or fabric markers. (Check out my affiliate partner, Creative Fabrica, for amazing fonts and patterns perfect for DIY shirts and crafts!)
- Holiday Socks
- Pull out those funky Christmas socks or get crafty! Decorate plain socks with fabric paint, glitter, or pom-poms. Turn this into a bonding moment by letting your kids personalize their own socks.
- Holiday Headwear
- Santa hats, reindeer antlers, or even a DIY elf headband can bring this day to life. If you’re feeling creative, use hot glue, pipe cleaners, and felt to craft unique headwear for each family member.
- Holiday Attire
- Holiday PJs
- End the week on a cozy note with matching Christmas pajamas. Curl up for a family movie night with hot cocoa and your favorite holiday treats. Snap a photo to capture the memory and maybe even start a yearly scrapbook tradition!
