It's definitely a challenge to lure the kids away from their new toys to come to the dinner table on Christmas day! But here are a few ideas to make it fun for them and keep them there--at least for a little while!
Grab their attention with a show-stopping centerpiece like one of these! This marshmallow snowman or gingerbread house will be sure to dazzle them. Photo source for snowman

Make the kids' place settings fun! I love this elf hat using a table napkin from Good Housekeeping
here. The Santa napkin rings are a fun touch (source
here), as well as the Santa cup holder. If you don't want to use it for candy, use it to hold crayons and coloring pages to keep the kids sitting at the table.
No harm in giving kids a peak at the dessert! These melted snowmen are too adorable and kids will get a kick out of them! (Directions
here.) This sea glass jello was submitted by a reader, and I bet it will have the kids "oohing and aahing"! Use red and green to make it especially festive! Thanks Sarah for the tip! (Directions
