Just discard the bags/labels and layer cocoa mix, crushed candy canes and marshmallows in a festive mason jar. Maybe attach a tag from Mrs. Claus. </p> <p>A friend of mine "wraps" her son's bedroom door in crepe paper so he busts through it, Christmas morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magical-touches#post-2396409 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 23:17:36 +0000 LovelyPlum 2396409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: oh wow.

My mom never confessed if she had something to do with it or not...I remember it being incredible to find it. I think my older sisters were teetering on "believing or not" at that point and I think it was pretty magical finding the bell... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magical-touches#post-2396247 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 19:28:15 +0000 MamaG 2396247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The reindeer always make a big mess of what we leave them outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magical-touches#post-2396240 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 19:16:07 +0000 Andrea 2396240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have some reindeer food we're sprinkling outside. It's oats and glitter, yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magical-touches#post-2396234 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 19:11:24 +0000 Bao 2396234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: aww great ideas! Maybe it was reindeer food I'm thinking of, with glitter! Oatmeal and glitter? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magical-touches#post-2396229 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 19:03:03 +0000 regberadaisy 2396229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: the scarf is adorable. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magical-touches#post-2396227 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 19:02:06 +0000 MamaBehr 2396227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One year my mom put a red scarf in the fire place so it looked like santa forgot his scarf. We did that when DD was three, so she didn't really get it.</p> <p>When my mom was young my grandfather threw snowballs on the roof so that it sounded like reindeer feet! </p> <p>My daughter's kindergarten class made reindeer food, so we'll put that outside. I don't think it turns into anything (like candy canes etc) but she's super excited about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/magical-touches#post-2396201 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 18:37:28 +0000 Bao 2396201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it would be fun to add a few magical touches around the house for Christmas morning. I've come across ones like Santa's boot print or glitter outside from the reindeer, or something similar to that. I'm wondering if any of you have any ideas of something easy that can be done to add a little Christmas magic to the morning! :) </p>
