1. A bucket list book is the perfect way to make memories with dad. This scratch-off style will keep the surprises (and fun) coming.
2. Another great way to bond with pops is with a game of bingo focused on America’s favorite pastime—baseball! This baseball version of bingo lets you both enjoy the game and each other’s company.
3. For work, tailgating, a day on the boat, or a night of camping, this insulated cooler lunchbox is great for so many occasions.
4. Let him bring his marinating imagination to life with this grilling spice set! ‘Tis the season for smokehouse selections.
5. When the grilling is complete, he can use this funny cutting board to serve up his delicious delicacies.
6. What’s a Super Daddio made of? This tumbler will remind him of his best qualities.
7. And for a more personalized version of the superhero gift, this Super Dad book is customizable and will be cherished forever.
8. Does anything pair better with a dad joke than a box of snacks?! Definitely not. Warning: may be accompanied by a lot of eye-rolling from the rest of the family.
9. A post-snack time nap is always a good idea. Or, “resting the eyes,” as he (and these socks) like to say.
10. For more cozy foot gear, these slippers will be his new go-to for lounging around the house.
11. This golf essentials organizer is perfect for a day out on the links. And now he can’t blame his poor golf game on forgetting his lucky ball marker.

Once the boxes are found and the cocoa’s been sipped, it’s off to bed for the kiddos for a long night’s kip. The cookies and milk for Santa have been laid out with care, plus some carrots for Rudolph and the reindeer to share. Sweet dreams to everyone, close your eyes and sleep tight. A very merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!!
Christmas Eve night is full of excitement and anticipation, and Kristy’s family has a sweet yearly tradition to make the most of their time spent waiting for Santa and his reindeer to climb down the chimney and leave gifts under the tree. See how they like to celebrate with our version of The Night Before Christmas below.
Christmas Eve Outfits
‘Twas the night before Christmas when one handsome boy and one darling girl, put their most festive clothes on with a prance and a twirl. All decked out in red, cream, and gold, the sweet children were angels and did just as they’re told. In the car and off to Grandma’s they go, for a special visit from Santa, “ho, ho, ho!” After the gifts are exchanged, Mom’s homemade cookies are passed around. Snickerdoodle and thumbprints and toffee abound! Hugs and kisses for all and back home they go, for the night’s far from over, and it’s starting to snow!

Elf Gift Boxes
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, the kids were searching for elf boxes while the puppies helped browse. The parents sat back with their glasses of wine and appreciated these moments when all was just fine. Goodies were waiting in the boxes to be found, all from their Elf on the Shelf as his way of saying, “Thanks for letting me hang around!” Hello Kitty treats for the girl for she loved the feline so dear, and of course, for the boy, Spiderman was his favorite this year. PJ’s, socks, an ornament, and more, the kids are always delighted with these new treasures to adore.

If you’re getting ready to take your family photo for your annual holiday cards, matching outfits are a must. Whether you plan to get a few shots outdoors at a Christmas tree farm, on the porch in front of the twinkling lights, or inside cozied up next to the warm fire, red, black, and white are classic colors for the holidays that also photograph really well. Walmart has tons of inexpensive options for matching family photo looks. See our style guide below.
Relaxed Crew Sweater | Leggings | Over-the-Knee Boots | Drop Tassel Earrings | Ruffle Dress | Knee High Socks | Slouch Bootie | Hair Ribbon | Hooded Flannel Shirt | Twill Pants | Tucker Boots | Knit Flannel Shirt | Straight Fit Jeans | Mountain Boots | Gold and Diamond Accent Watch
For the ladies of the house, pair a relaxed fit plaid sweater with matching leggings and over-the-knee boots and add a pair of sparkly drop tassel earrings for a casually chic yet totally classy look.
Dress your darling little girl in a ruffle dress with knee high cable knit socks and slouchy booties. Finish the look with a hair ribbon, because nothing says “Happy Holidays” quite like glitter and bows.
For your little boy, a hooded flannel with twill pants and tucker boots is an outdoorsy look that’s also classic Christmas.
Dads, keep it cool with a knit flannel shirt and dark denim styled with mountain boots and a gleaming gold watch for a winter vibe that feels like mountain man meets GQ.
