“Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that traveling, hopefully, is better than arriving,” English comedian and actor Stephen Fry once said. And that feeling is certainly due to all the fun festivities and craft activities that lead up to the big day, so make the most of the moments of anticipation with fun and easy Christmas crafts that get everyone in the holiday spirit. Plus, most of these projects double as stylish Christmas decorations or gifts, so you’ll be getting rid of those chores while you’re working on them. Get ready, make yourself comfortable, and start crafting.
