Candy Cane Trail

Capture the magic of Christmas morning by creating a fun trail for your kids to follow when they fist wake up. Purchase a box of wrapped candy canes and lay them on the floor guiding them through the house. Leave a note at their doorway directing them to follow the candy can trail to "present pit stops" that have one present for them to open at each. Each "present pit stop" has a small note that Santa has left them with one nice thing that he saw them do that year. Notes can include things like. "You always know how to look on the bright side, keep up the good work" or "You are always the first to volunteer to help and that is a wonderful way to show you care for others."
