Christmas Eve Traditions

Help welcome Santa and thank all of his helpers (including the reindeer) with these 3 Christmas Eve crafts.

Santa Key

Santa uses Christmas magic to squeeze down the chimney with his bag full of gifts and we all marvel at this seemingly impossible feat! But what if you live in an apartment or condo? Not every home has a chimney, so how does Santa get inside? This is a bit of a Christmas conundrum, but rest assured, we’ve got a solution: a special key made just for Santa that will help him unlock the door! One turn with this magical key and Santa will be able to come inside and deliver his toys and gifts. Find an old key at a craft or thrift store (or order one online) and use clear glue to help adhere the glitter. Write a little note to Santa on a mailing tag and hang on your doorknob – really, it’s that simple!
