Christmas time is near and it is time to shelf away some of our grown-up concerns that keep us awake at night to make room for the magic, like wondrous children do.  

The joy of first snow, the twinkling lights, the anticipation for the next advent calendar surprise, and finally the presents, is the magic that breathes life into this beautiful time of year. 

Our receptiveness to the beauty around us will reflect how our children will experience the love, the family time and the sharing that Christmas is all about, despite living through Covid-19.

Each year on Christmas morning, before everyone has gathered around the tree for the annual paper ripping feast, I admit I am guilty of scouting the packages under the tree like a child, and I sit and imagine what could be inside the colorful and usually immaculately folded wrapping paper, of the ones that I didn’t pack myself.  I love to look at the them and hope that as everyone will unwrap their own packages, their dreams will be fulfilled.  Mine are fulfilled just then, while I am overwhelmed with gratitude to be able to share this experience with my children. 

Along with all the gifts that will be exchanged, assembled and hopefully put to good use in children’s hands, are the experiences that we can create, share and remember years later.  Experiences, have the power to make shifts in mindsets, facilitate growth from one life stage to the next, and create memories that will last forever.  Thus, include not only things that your family will love under the Christmas tree, but also experiences that your loved ones can anticipate to enjoy later in 2021. 

Momizen has created a list that we will be updated regularly right up until the last week before Christmas, with gift idea inspirations about experiences children and families will love and enjoy together.  They range from day-passes to the Transport Museum, to adrenaline sports, birthday parties with a twist, family photo shoots, learning a new language, and even violin lessons!
