’Tis the season to share some of our favorite holiday posts from years past, from tips to celebrate the winter solstice on short notice to ideas for a no-stuff holiday season. So whether you're looking for a last-minute gift to make with the kids (the chai tea mix mentioned here is a favorite of ours) or just in need of a quick unit study to round out the year, you'll want to check out these flashback posts.
It’s okay to scale way back if Pinterest-perfect holidays are making you stress more than you celebrate.
Homemade gifts you can actually make with your kids that your friends will actually be happy to get.
Be a magical librarian, choose your own adventure, get your Shakespeare on, and more games we want to give and get and (mostly) play this holiday season. These are our favorite homeschool board games.

Reading together is a favorite way for many Chinese families to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in China — also known as the Moon Festival.
As I’ve said before, we follow the “something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read” guide for holiday giving, and nerdy t-shirts are our favorites for something to wear. All of these witty tees made my short list this year.
Celebrate the shortest day of the year by exploring the science of the seasons.
