I haven’t had as much time this year to make JDaniel special Christmas meals and snacks. What with going back to work and my mom being in the hospital things have been hectic and crazy. I decided rather than share a new Christmas meal or snack for kids with you I would share some of my favorites from previous years.
A layered Christmas tree lunch is made of rows of various finger foods for children. The layers could have been served in ham and cheese crackers with grapes and yogurt, but this was more fun.
Last year we made buche de Noel rolls as part of a study of Christmas in France.
A Christmas pasta wreath made from many colored tortellini was served as a snack that both JDaniel and I enjoyed.
A reindeer lunch was served in a bento box along with foods that a reindeer might like to eat.
Last year I served my family a Bethlehem dinner featuring foods like would have been available during the time of Christ in Bethlehem. We each pulled the foods we wanted to try of the various plates and bowls.
Angels are mentioned over and over in the Christmas story as messengers of good news. JDaniel was given an angels we had for lunch meal filled with angels to celebrate them.
A gingerbread man on the loose snack featured raisin bran in a gingerbread cookie cutter with wonderful treat to add to it.
What are you favorite Christmas meals or snacks?

Very fun! And I do love the candy corn as the choice of a little treat. They’re my daughter’s fall/winter favorite.
