Yes, when my kids were young, I did everything with them at Christmas, right from baking cookies to the gingerbread house, to all the Christmas decorations. When my grandchildren were younger (now are 15,12&8) we baked Christmas cookies together and decorated the house. Now they are at the ages where they don't want to do all that stuff, so, I leave the little bit that they do want to do for my daughter. They still decorate outside, put up lights and decorate the tree with her. The times are a changing...it is getting harder to help them enjoy the simplicity of the season.
