Speaker 1:

Hey everyone. So today is day 24 of our 25 Days, 25 Ways for a Better Christmas, and it is Christmas Eve Eve that's what my kids call it, christmas Eve Eve. And I am wearing another one of my favorite hats, because there are little snowball friends on the end of my Frosty the Snowman Christmas hat. I am feeling so festive, it's so exciting. So, as we are approaching just so much fun and so much joy. This activity always is so much fun and so much joy. Activity always is so much fun and so much joy.

Speaker 1:

And it is creating a group Christmas story. So essentially, what happens is one person starts with once upon a time and then we go kind of around the room or in a circle with everybody participating. And if there's only three of you, then that's fine. If it's just the two of you, you go back and forth. You can always call grandma and grandpa on the phone and put them on speaker and they can join in on the group Christmas story time.

Speaker 1:

So everybody gets just sort of like a little part of the story, maybe one or two sentences, just sort of like a little part of the story, maybe one or two sentences, and then you just keep going around the circle until you decide you want to be over. Sometimes we go around twice, sometimes we keep going until this story just has an ending that we all kind of agree that we like, and sometimes we say to be continued. So I hope that you have fun with your group Christmas storytelling time and would love to hear what your stories are all about. So let us know. And we have one more day tomorrow and we will be all ready for a great Christmas morning. Okay, see ya.
