It’s Christmas Eve, and we’re celebrating the final day before Christmas with something special! As we wait for Santa to drop down the chimney and leave lots of gifts under the tree, the elves are up to a little magic of their own. This fun annual holiday tradition is one that Kristy and her family love and cherish. Read all about the Christmas Eve elf boxes below.
One of my favorite traditions is our “Elf Parting Box” that we do every year. On Christmas Eve, the elves leave a special box for my kids, filled with items that represent their favorite character of the year. Some of the goodies inside include holiday pajamas, a book, an ornament for the tree, a plush toy, and hot cocoa with candy. I love how their tree has become a collection of meaningful ornaments, each marking a different phase in their lives, and it’s always so nice to look back on those memories. Even after they stop believing in the elves, I’ll keep this tradition alive. After all, who doesn’t love a new pair of pajamas and some chocolate on Christmas? What are some of your favorite traditions?
These gingerbread man boxes are just adorable! They’re a festive way to store all the little goodies you’ve got. This year’s themes are Hello Kitty and Sonic the Hedgehog.
Cozy pajamas are a must! This Hello Kitty set is purrrr-fect for Christmas morning, and these Sonic the Hedgehog pajamas are delightful treat.
A holiday-themed book is always a good idea! Meet the Scout Elves and The Best Christmas Pageant Ever were this year’s choices.
Cute companions! These sweet plushes (Sonic and Hello Kitty, accordingly) will be their new besties, always ready for a little snuggle.
And, of course, new ornaments for the tree! Grab your themed Hello Kitty and Sonic ornaments and add them to the collection for the kids’ tree (if you have a dedicated one).

I am not sure which is more memorable: N’Sync’s “It’s Gonna Be Me” (May) or Star Wars’ “May the force (fourth) be with you!” Either way, both will be sticking around for years to come, and I am here for them both! Star Wars fans around the globe eagerly anticipate the commemorative day to celebrate the very successful and beloved franchise. See our roundup of Star Wars fun below!
“The belonging you seek is not behind you … it is ahead.”
— Maz Kanata
Super fans or self-proclaimed Jedi Masters all around the world may be gearing up to binge the whole saga for the umpteenth time, but if you’re like me and haven’t technically watched any of them, there’s no time like the present to play catch up on the whole Star Wars collection, which can be found on Disney+ if you have that streaming service!
“The force will be with you…always.”
– Obi-Wan Kenobi
Depending on your skill level, you may also be honoring the day by building a Lego set recreating a memorable scene, character or ship to add to the collection!
“The Force is strong in my family, my father had it, I have it, my sister has it. You have that power too.”
– Luke Skywalker
Is Star Wars a family-wide phenom in your house? Check out some of this family-friendly decor that I came across. Whether the kids are baby Yoda fans like mine, or the chef of the house could use some new kitchen utensils and essentials to cook like a Jedi, or your workspace needs a little boost of the force, there is plenty of themed decor that will not disappoint!
“Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.”
– Yoda
If your kiddos are anything like mine, they loooovvvveee books! A favorite collection of mine growing up were the Little Golden Books and don’t think for a second that I don’t get them when I can for my crew! So this May 4th, you can guarantee that we will be reading one from the Little Golden Book Star Wars library!
However you spend the day, just remember to “Do. Or do not. There is no try.” – Yoda and May the fourth be with you all!

St. Patricks’ Day is just a couple of weeks away and we’re ready to eat, drink, and be Irish!! This luck-filled, gold-tinged holiday is not just for the Irish, though. Everyone can get in on the shamrock-themed shenanigans with some fun decorations, cute apparel, and a shimmering green mimosa or two. See our St. Patrick’s Day roundup below and get ready to get lucky!
Decor
Little leprechauns came to spread some St. Patrick’s Day cheer at Kristy’s house and first up was her year-round Christmas tree. Adorned with sparkling shamrocks, glittering green globes, and leprechaun gnomes, this tree is like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
The lively leprechauns adorn the mantle as they play peek-a-boo from behind this hand-painted wooden sign. This gorgeous 24″ clock hangs all year long but is definitely worth a mention!!
Bring on the shenanigans! This cute farmhouse-style sign and faux olive tree accented with green beaded garland makes a chic St. Patrick’s Day display.
These sweet wooden shamrocks bring blessings of love and luck. Place a bowl of Hershey Kisses on a lazy susan with these clovers and be ready for whenever you hear “kiss me, I’m Irish!”
If you’ve got kiddos, leave them special St. Patrick’s Day treats from your playful leprechauns. Put a few festive centerpieces on a green and gold tablecloth and decorate with chocolate gold coins, shamrock confetti, and fun St. Patrick’s Day accessories.
Shop Gifts for Kids
And place these little leprechaun footprints around the house so your kids can follow the trail to their pot of gold!!
Libations
It wouldn’t be St. Patrick’s Day without a drink to celebrate!! This shimmering mimosa puts a fun twist on our beloved brunch beverage. Pour champagne in a flute, top with a splash of your favorite orange juice, add a dash of blue curacao, sprinkle in a little gold drink glitter, and garnish with a piece of Airheads rainbow gummies. Sláinte!
Apparel
Whether you’re heading to work, staying at home, or spending the day bar-hopping, grab your St. Patrick’s Day apparel and celebrate in style. Make it funny or keep it cute and classy…your holiday isn’t complete without the appropriate attire!
