Gather The Family and Start Counting!





There is so much anticipation during the Christmas holiday. Why not take advantage of another opportunity to gather the family and enjoy it? There are a variety of advent calendars
to choose from.

Each morning during December, gather the family and sing a Christmas carol before you open a window. You could even hand out a little treat for each child as they take turns opening a window on the calendar.

Start this fun little tradition and pass it on. You can make this tradition as simple or as elaborate as you wish. Your children will love it as they have a special moment with mom and dad before everyone starts their day! Good times!

Take Time For A Family Tradition!








At Christmas Twigs, we believe in FAMILY! You know what they say, "The family that plays together, stays together." The holidays are fast approaching and now is a good time to prepare so that you can have fun as a family once the Christmas season arrives!

An Advent Calendar is a fun way to count down the days until Christmas Day. This tradition dates back to 19th Century Germany. Each day you can gather as a family to open a window and sing a Christmas carol together. Some calendars have chocolate tucked inside. If one calendar is not enough, get one for each of your children to open each day at the same time.

An Advent Calendar, can heighten the anticipation of the holidays as your family prepares for Christmas. This tradition will help to create fond memories for loved ones to cherish throughout the coming years.

Why not send one to Grandpa and Grandma to enjoy? Young and old alike will have fun with this time honored tradition! Give them as gifts to neighbors, friends, or school teachers. They make a cute decoration for home, office or the classroom.

As this tradition is passed along from your family to your children's and so on, this annual tradition will continue to make Christmas memories for many years to come. It's never too late to start a new tradition or continue an established one!
