The Spirit of Christmas - schools

In this fast paced pre-Christmas time, how can we support children to have a Christmas experience beyond the commercial & material outlook?

If we set a steady rhythm in the weeks before Christmas we can anchor the children in this chaotic time.

We will look at the images of Christmas & see how in practical ways we can implement them in practical, creative and joyful ways.

Ebba will lovingly explore;

• Preparing our children for Christmas through the Advent weeks leading to it

• How to include the gift of summer into Christmas celebrations

• Ideas for activities, stories and gift-making, which may free parents and children

   from commercial pressures (which gifts fulfil at this giving time?)

• Rituals for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day appropriate for young children.
