Christmas is just about the most hectic time of year for most families. With all of the festivities, school concerts, gift-buying (or making), Christmas decorating and food preparations to do it can be a little bit hard to find time for crafting and kids activities. In fact, I don’t blame you if you can’t fit them in at all.

This is where Christmas printables come in handy, saving time, fuss and in most cases being low-mess. Can’t beat that!
