Christmas/Hanukkah

My family has found a new holiday tradition. For a few years now, our Christmas celebrations have begun to feel empty and stale. It seems to get worse every year, as the kids grow up a little more and want a lot more. (When she was two, the only thing my daughter wanted for Christmas was a candy cane. A more recent request was for a $300 American Girl doll camper!) One year, we really jazzed things up by taking the kids to Boston Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker. It was magnificent, but we knew going every year just wasn’t in the budget.  Besides, we would like to have a more interactive family-time holiday tradition. Well, now we’ve found something to fit the bill: Family Trees: A Celebration of Children’s Literature at the Concord Museum. To find out all about the trees, what’s happening at the museum during the holidays, and score some tips for getting the most out of your visit with kids, read on.
