THIS IS NOT A CHALLENGE: Just a bit of fun for Christmas time.
We are all busy near to Christmas, but if you have a few spare moments, or want to find something to keep the kids occupied, here are some sites to check out.
Feel free to add any fun things you come across.

An enterprising lady on this site makes advent calendars into family events and takes a photo of each activity. You write up an activity for each day- e.g. toe nail painting- fun things.
Feeling lyrical?
