This workshop will explore with parents the various images of Christmas, such as the nativity, Santa Claus, Christmas Eve, their deeper meaning and how this enables us to bring our children into the heart of Christmas..

Ebba will lovingly explore:

Preparing your children for Christmas through Advent time
How to include the gift of summer into our Christmas celebrations
Ideas for activities, stories and gift-making, which may free parents and children from the commercial pressure of this season (which gifts fulfil at this time of giving).
Rituals for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day appropriate for young children.

Participants will create a simple Christmas angel and will leave feeling renewed and inspired to share with their family the simple joys of this special time of year.
