Come With Your Favorite Holiday Stories

Classic holiday stories have endured for a reason— they're timeless! Invite your guests to share their favorite holiday stories, then ask them to share the meanings behind them and what makes them so special.

Set Up A Fun Kids’ Table

After the group has shared a few stories, have the kids create their own holiday stories. Have each kid tell their story to the group. To add an extra layer of fun, cover the kids’ table with construction paper and supply crayons so that they can doodle scenes from the stories as they listen.
