We love your comments
what can you use in place of the movie
The “laughing all the way” tag would work with a fun family game.
what can you use in place of the book and movie tags
The “Laughing all the way” tag would work with a fun family movie. And the “Twas the night before Christmas” tag could be used for any Christmas Eve tradition. Like hanging stockings, putting cookies out for Santa, putting reindeer food out for Rudolph, or reading the nativity story. Hope that helps!
I love this Christmas Eve box idea! I just made up cookie baking boxes for my grans but this was a great idea for next year.
I have an idea but need some help. I bought these big Wooden Advent calendar with drawers for each day. My plan is to fill it throughout the year. Any ideas with what to fill it with? I bought 4 for each of my children and their families (mostly small children). I was thinking of things like ride around looking at Christmas lights adding in a gas card. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated or even a printable !

LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!!!!
We LOVE this family tradition! Thanks for the cute printables!
This is SO cute!! I love the printables!
This is one of my best pins of the year! Thanks so much for posting.
I am going to be putting a color printer on my wish list this year so I can do printables at home! What color printer do you use? what is best, Laser or inkjet?
Stacia, A new printer is such a great idea!! My printer at home is nothing special (HP Photosmart 6525 from Costco). If I could do it all again I might get a Laser printer. I hear that they create cleaner and brighter color copies. Good Luck!! If you end up getting something you LOVE give us a heads up! We are always looking for better printers!!
These printables are so cute!!! I like to throw a new board game or puzzle in for Christmas Eve too, so maybe it would be cute to have a tag that says something like “Join in all the reindeer games”. 🙂 Thanks for offering these!
Haley – Great Idea!! So Cute!
This is the first year the kids won’t be home for Christmas, so I made one box for each of my children. It was so much fun! Thanks for the idea!!!
Denise, What a great idea – a little piece of home away from home!! Merry Christmas!
Such a great day, thank you so much for sharing! I remember when my kids were little, we always gave them new pajamas to wear Christmas Even.
I’m so glad you liked it! My little family is just starting our own Christmas Traditions – this is now one of them!
What a fun tradition! Gorgeous photos, too!

Thanks for this! I know it is from last year, but it just happened upon it. So excited to do one of these for my family!
And a little off topic, but what font did you use for the words ‘Eve Box’ above?
Nicole- I’m so glad you like it! The script font is “Rochester” and the skinny font is “Mathelete”- I hope this helps!
Amanda?! Whaaaa?! I feel like I know a celebrity seeing you on here!—Haeli Allen
