Do some holiday cookie decorating with the kids from the comfort of your own home…Andrea Cerutti of Cookieliscious is offering two fun options from the little ones to older kids/adults. Option 1: "Paint Your Cookie" - These come with one large white iced cookie with a black outline of the design and then the kids color in the design. Also included are a paint pallet and mini food safe paint brush. These cookies are heat sealed in a cellophane bag so they should last for several weeks if not open. Kids love these little sets, perfect for little ones to do! Can choose between 3 designs - 1A) Dog with Antlers, 1B) Gingerbread House 1C) Santa with reindeer. "Paint Your Cookie" are $3.00 each. Option 2: "Decorating DIY" DIY kit which would come with 6 medium assorted holiday shaped cookies, 2-3 icing colors and sprinkles. Shapes and designs are kept simple for these kids so that kids can achieve success, recommended for older kids/adults. Step by step instructions on how to decorate with photos and descriptions can be found on her fb page (link will be sent) for everyone to follow along.

Snowflakes, sword fights, dancing dolls and a Christmas tree that reaches the sky are just a few of the spectacular theatrical elements you and your family will experience while watching The Nutcracker. Ballet Theatre of Ohio is performing their 29th season of The Nutcracker at the beautiful and historic Civic Theatre in downtown Akron. This event is one for everyone as you watch the lead ballerina, Clara, take you on a magical journey. The show begins at a Christmas party but as the clock strikes midnight and Clara falls asleep, she enters an enchanted world that begins with an epic battle between mice and toy soldiers. This fast-paced scene eventually leads to the Nutcracker Prince sweeping Clara off her feet and taking her through a snowy forest to the Kingdom of Sweets where she meets the Sugar Plum Fairy. It is the perfect show to start or carry on a Holiday tradition with the whole family!

Cozy up at home for a live-reading of Tove Jansson‘s short story, The Fir Tree, the story of how the Moomin family first encountered Christmas.

The reading will be followed by discussion of this wonderful Christmas story. Then, learn more about holiday traditions in Finland through this livestream Zoom webinar. Recommended for ages 3+.
