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).

Work it out, walk the town, and wind it down with Nordstrom Rack. From your morning gym sesh to your afternoon errand running to your nighttime relaxation routine, these stylish steals will have you prepared for whatever your day may bring.

Work It Out
Yoga, weightlifting, cycling, or running….these pieces are perfect for your daily workout! I am an avid yogi and this “pink paradise” racerback tank and these fun zebra-striped leggings hugged me tight in all the right places and still moved easily along with my body during a pretty intense hour-long vinyasa flow. My morning jog was breeze in these extra comfy Nike sneakers. I felt like I was running on a cloud and I didn’t have any ache in my knees! Top and leggings are true to size – I am wearing a size small in both. I usually wear a 7 or 7.5 in shoes – the sneakers are a 7.5 and fit snugly. Because of the extra cushioning, I would recommend going with the larger size if you are in-between shoe sizes.

Walk the Town
Check out this babe!! Our girl Kristy is definitely ready to walk (more like strut) the town in this gorgeous getup. These beautiful boho open, flowy pants are definitely going to be a staple in her wardrobe this summer and the adjustable waist with tie strands makes for additional comfort. The casual tank is dressed up with a delicately layered necklace and the nude sandals tie everything together so nicely. She’s ready to tackle her endless to-do list and look good while doing it! Pants are true to size – she wears a size 4 normally, and ordered a size small in these pants and had plenty of room. The sandals are great for a night of walking, but if you’re looking for a more comfortable fit, she recommends ordering a 1/2 size up.

Wind It Down
After a long day of chasing her children, playing housekeeper and chef extraordinaire, PLUS balancing working from home, Kristy seriously looks forward to some peace and quiet at night when she can sit back and relax – even if it’s just for a short amount of time! In this adorable (and comfortable!!) pajama set and these super cozy slippers, she can feel luxurious and laidback. She recommends grabbing a face mask, lighting a calming candle, and finding some zen…it’s a necessity. The pajama set is true to size – she is wearing a size small.
