One thing I have done since my grandchildren were little is give them a Christmas ornament. I try to find something that depicts their interests or hobbies.

It is always fun shopping and trying to find just the right ornament. Another tradition is giving them a Chocolate Countdown Calendar. This year I almost decided they were getting to old for the calendars, but my daughter reminded me that it was a "tradition" and that the kids would be disappointed if they didn't receive one.
A few years ago, I also made place mats for each of the grandchildren. Using a "snowman" font, I embroidered each of their names. Each snowman depicted a letter in their name.
This is always a much anticipated activity with my family, one that we all look forward to.
Sounds like fun!
