Christmas with older kids

is mostly the same as with the younger kids:

Baking, decorating, setting up a super large Christmas town out of Lego together in the living room (check out YouTube for inspiration), setting up a Nativity Scene in the front yard out of pallets, have friends come over a couple of days before, hot cocoa with marshmallows and peppermint candy sticks, s'mores, reading the Christmas story in front of the fire, sharing your Christmas stories, take lots of photos with themed wear or matchies, plan Christmas at a log cabin instead, get a puppy... the list is endless
