Creative Ideas For Your Christmas Countdown
Holiday countdowns are a memorable tradition for many families, and they can be done in so many ways! A popular idea is to have a basket of wrapped holiday books to use to countdown every night. The books are the same every year, but they are only placed out at Christmas, so they always feel special when they come out and kids are always happy to see their favorites!
Other people countdown with a Christmas activity every day in the month of December, whether it’s decorating the tree, crafting holiday ornaments, baking cookies, or driving around and looking at Christmas lights. I’ve even seen DIY advent calendars with shoe bags being hung over bedroom doors with a small treat placed in each clear shoe slot for a countdown idea. What about sweet notes for a holiday countdown? Perhaps a message on favorite holiday memories or what the person means to you! The options are endless, but the core memories will be activated!
Create a Memorable Christmas with Craft Supplies
Christmas is the ideal time of the year to break out the craft supplies—a lot of memories can be created around the table. Whether it’s through using stamps, Christmas card kits, Christmas Designer Series Paper, products from the Stampin Up! mini catalog, or whatever you have on hand, when you take the time to craft together, you’re taking the time to make memories. Holidays are so special, and crafting with friends and families during this time of year will create lifelong core memories.
