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!
