K.A.C. 2013 - T - 7 ...

     One week to go! If you have little ones of your own (or nieces or nephews) or know of anyone with kids, then you know this final stretch is the WORST! The waiting, the anticipation, the crushing pressure to be good all the time ... for a whole week - it's brutal! What to do? Try to get their minds off it with activities - such as the Moon Christmas Coloring Book from 1970! Put out by Lord & Taylor, it is a simple tale of Santa being called to duty to provide a Merry Christmas for the lonely astronauts on the Moon. It's also all rather surreal ... but don't take my word for it. Follow the link below for the entire coloring book - and print it off for your young friends to color. Remember to stay inside the lines!

     They're going to work up an appetite after all that coloring, so how about fun time in the kitchen baking something together? The ravening hordes aren't going to have the patience to make a Gingerbread TARDIS (which we showcased in our November 16th, 2011 blog entry), so instead they can make a TARDIS Cake (complete with cool serving board)!

     While the cake is cooling, you can all watch a traditional holiday video - if you're a long-time reader of the K.A.C., you already know where I'm going with this! Yep, today is December 18th, the anniversary of Santa's favorite helpers ... Hardrock, Coco and Joe! Click on the link for your holiday earwig!
