Do they like milk shakes? Ice cream sundaes with chocolate sprinkles?
When I lived in the Pacific Northwest, I used to drive between Spokane and Portland, and would stop in Pasco to get a "black and white." That was a sundae of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce and chocolate ice cream with a creamy white sauce. It used to settle me down!

i dunno, free... having a time, m'self. i felt myself switching today, each one at a different trigger so there were layers and me trying to keep pace in the store.
things have been ending up everywhere - milk in the cupbord, refrigerated-supplements in the drawer... i switched in session with this new T, too. it's been quite a week. I am sooooooooooo looking forward to January.

Well, I'm hesistant to offer any suggestions since I've only had experiences with youngesters in school (and kids of friends) but:
Colouring books? Paints? Could get a bit messy, but I know painting calms me down! Maybe making a snowman or a snow fort? I don't know if that's really Christmassy, but it sure is fun! Watching Disney movies! Best thing ever! Easy puzzles? I'm sorry that Christmas is so hard on you.
