Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I enjoyed the article from the Dollar Stretcher for Parents. The ideas do not include any religious ones, but I still found several I liked... especially the one about shuffling gifts while reading The Night Before Christmas. That could seriously be fun
