18 little holiday joys with your kids--mostly free. As most little joys are.

As much as we love shopping and big surprises and our seasonal visit to the Nutcracker at BAM and shopping some more, I'm well aware that some of the greatest treats of the season are the little things. So I hope you'll like this list that I put together as a contributor to the Amex Tumblr: 18 Little Holiday Joys with Your Kids. I thought about the small joys that shouldn't be overlooked in the craziness of the season, like sharing favorite holiday movies together, knowing every lyric to Partridge in a Pear Tree, or watching a child suspend disbelief entirely when more than one Santa appears on a street corner at the same time. I hope you find as much inspiration in them as I do.
