A Santa Claus Postmark Will Make
Your Child's Eyes Twinkle! It’s time to start planning for Christmas again and how to make it even more meaningful. If you are like the average person that recognizes and acknowledges this magical holiday, you will be dragging out your favorite and most cherished decorations from past Christmases plus adding more. Most people seem to continuously build their supply of adornments. After all, there are always new and gorgeous ornaments, wreaths, garlands, and other decorative embellishments we can add. The truth is that having a wide range offers the opportunity to either have a themed oriented decorating scheme, or a free for all style.
Decorating your home and surroundings is usually a Christmas tradition that all members of the family participate in. Even the very young get into the act. And of course, us grownups sometimes get a little emotional at Christmas time. It’s not hard to do as we think about favorite Christmases from years gone by. And if we are really lucky we will even have some keepsakes from those times that seem to keep us in touch with our past.
Christmas traditions are a wonderful way to bridge the gap between old and new, and young and old. The passing down of traditions keeps a bond of sorts between the generations. Just as our parents celebrated during the holidays, we have followed, and our kids will too.
Whether your family traditionally spends a specific time making and displaying Christmas craft projects, or simply decorating, or just spending quality time together, these can all become cherished Christmas traditions. And great memories will be a part of each Christmas as the tradition is carried on.
My family’s Christmas traditions include putting our Christmas tree up on Thanksgiving Day. Afterward, we work on a few Christmas craft projects – a family favorite is making snowmen out of Styrofoam balls. It’s easy enough even for the youngest members to do and fun for all.
When the craft projects are complete it is time to write our letter to Santa Claus. The kids love this. I always look forward to learning what it is that the children really want for Christmas. When the letters are ready we put them in envelopes addressed to Santa at the North Pole. And when the kids receive an authentic letter back with a Santa Claus postmark from the North Pole they are ecstatic. As soon as their eyes take in the postmark from Santa Claus they are overjoyed, and I get to share in their joy.
No matter what activities you and your family look forward to together, the vital thing is to make it fun and make it meaningful. There’s something about Christmas that is simply enchanting and I believe that magic lives in our hearts. It just takes the wonders of Christmas to bring it out in each of us.*******************For a free ebook that offers information about the history of Christmas Traditions visit this link:
