Do:
Get them a mug of Kinderpunsch (hot, non-alcoholic punch)
Point out the twinkly fairy lights, the Christmas tree and any other light effects
Make sure they at least try some of the delicious, sweet and savoury food on offer
Let them go on the carousel
Bring them to see the crib
Make sure they see the handcrafts on display
Explain what they should do in case they get separated from you
Remember that their eyes are much lower down than yours. They may only see peoples bags, elbows and the backs of jackets
Expect a few grumpy moments after the initial awe
Don’t:
Let them out of your sight for a moment
Say “we’re not staying long”, unless you really aren’t
Promise what you can’t deliver. Check in advance what events are on, what is on display, etc. before you go, if possible
Let them touch the items on display at the stall. It could end up costing you a lot.
Drink too much mulled wine
