Christmas Laughs & Memories
4 printables to fill your December with laughter, conversation, and moments you'll want to keep
The best Christmas moments are usually the little ones that make everyone laugh.
Someone picks a side and defends it.
A punch line your child made up beats the real one.
A silly story gets read out loud.
Christmas Laughs & Memories gives your family four easy ways to laugh together, talk together, and hold on to it all for next year.
More laughing. More talking. More to remember.
Christmas Laughs & Memories is four printables made to bring your family together at the dinner table, in the car, and everywhere in between.
Three are for laughing and talking together. The fourth helps you catch the moments that made this Christmas yours, before the season passes in a blur.
What's inside
Four printables, four ways to connect. Start with whichever sounds most like your family.
Holiday This or That
Two choices. Everyone picks a side. Then comes the best part: asking why.
- 110 Christmas questions with two choices each, from gingerbread cookies or sugar cookies to riding in Santa's sleigh or on the back of a reindeer
- You may find out someone has very strong opinions about Christmas decorations, or that the whole family agrees on something you never expected
- Two ways to play: read straight from the question pages (no cutting, no prep) or cut the cards apart and draw from a bowl. Great for the dinner table, car rides, classrooms, and holiday parties
- No scores, no winners, no wrong answers. The only real rule is to have fun together
Holiday Story Fun
Everyone shouts out words, one person reads the story out loud, and the sillier the answers, the better.
- 5 fill-in stories: The Gingerbread Man's Great Escape, WANTED: One Very Special Elf, Frosty and the Snow Globe, The Night Rudolph's Nose Blinked Out, and Santa's Day Off
- Each story has its own fill-in word list, so you can gather the words without anyone peeking
- Play around the dinner table, on a holiday road trip, in the classroom, or whenever everyone needs a good giggle
- Kids get a little practice with parts of speech and vocabulary. They'll be too busy laughing to notice
Holiday Giggles: 50 Days of Jokes
Little moments can create big connections. This one fits in a lunchbox.
- 50 clean, silly Christmas jokes to cut out and tuck into a lunchbox, backpack, coat pocket, or under a pillow
- Share one every weekday for 10 weeks, or surprise your child whenever someone could use an unexpected laugh
- Give your child time to invent a punch line, then meet up later to compare answers and reveal the real one. Their made-up answers may turn out to be even funnier
- 5 Christmas coloring pages, from simple to more detailed, so there's something for different ages, or for a grown-up who'd like to color too
Our Christmas Favorites
Christmas can pass in a blur. This helps you catch the moments that made it yours.
- Two pages to fill out together near the end of the season. There are no right answers, and everyone's favorite may be different
- Capture Our Christmas in three words, the moment you'd happily do all over again, the moment that made you laugh the most, and a little detail you don't want to forget
- Room for what should come with you into next Christmas, something new to try, and something you can happily skip
- Write the year on it and pack it away with your decorations. Read it together when you unpack next year, and print a new copy each year as your favorite moments become treasured traditions
Little moments. Big connections.
Pick a question at dinner and let everyone vote by raising hands, or move to opposite sides of the room to show their choice. Then ask why. You might learn something new about the people you see every day.
Pull out a story on a road trip. Slip a joke into a coat pocket and see what punch line your child comes up with.
Then, near the end of the season, gather everyone around Our Christmas Favorites. So many treasured traditions begin when someone simply says, “Can we do that again next year?”
