We have been in the spirit of giving lately and today we are sharing a FREE PRINTABLE CHRISTMAS EXPRESS TICKET<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0 We love Christmas traditions – remembering old ones and creating new ones… and we came across the cutest Christmas tradition from Confessions of a Home Schooler<\/a>. \u00a0The concept is that she gives her kids “Golden Tickets” each year, on a night during the month of December so they can use the ticket to go see Christmas Lights in the car. \u00a0She hides it under their bed blankets, and after they have pjs on they get in bed and discover the ticket. \u00a0Once they find the ticket, she has the car ready with blankets, hot cocoa and they go off to see Christmas Lights. \u00a0We loved this so much, we knew we had to create a design and share this fabulous tradition!!! \u00a0We designed the ticket to coordinate with our \u00a0North Pole Collection<\/a>, which has an adorable hot cocoa bar set as well. \u00a0(You can set up a hot cocoa bar before you head out for lights, if you don’t want messes in the car)!<\/p>\n

Supplies Needed:
\nFREE PRINTABLE CHRISTMAS EXPRESS TICKET<\/a>
\nPhoto paper, card stock or paper of your choice
\nScissors
\nHole Punch<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Directions:
\n1. Download and print the free printable Christmas Express Ticket
\n2. Trim with scissors
\n3. On the special night, \u00a0cut a few holes on the ticket with a hole punch as your child enters the vehicle. \u00a0(I just punched each of my girls first initial)
\n4. Enjoy local lights in the car along with Christmas music, blankets & hot cocoa<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I told my girls that we would leave the tickets next to our Elf, and let him surprise us one night with them. \u00a0Whatever night he leaves the ticket will be the night we go on a car ride adventure. \u00a0I will make sure I have hot cocoa, blankets, snacks and a new set of Christmas pajamas ready for when the ticket arrives.<\/p>\n

I will probably set up a hot cocoa bar before we leave, because I don’t like messes while traveling! LOL
\nLook how easy this is to set up at home… (these pictures are from our North Pole Collection<\/a>)<\/p>\n

We are lucky to have a Christmas town near us, so we will be traveling to McAdenville, NC (Christmas Town USA)<\/a> in the next couple of weeks. \u00a0I am sooo excited to start this new tradition in our family.<\/p>\n
