Four Fantastic Family Christmas Traditions!

Christmas traditions are some of the best parts of the holiday season. We love watching traditions evolve and grow along with the families that create them and pass them on to the next generation! As this year's holidays quickly approach, we thought we'd help you prepare for another wonderful season with some of these great family Christmas traditions!

Christmas Cookies
If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's how much we love Christmas cookies. There's something wonderfully special about baking a bunch of Christmas cookies and spending a few hours decorating them with your family. Using red, green, and white icing (along with red hots and sprinkles), your cookies can really come to life! 

Christmas Bucket
This is a new one to all of us at Ornaments for Keeps! With this adorable family tradition, kiddos get a bucket of small packages on December 1st. Every day, they get to unwrap a little present that holds another activity, one for every day until Christmas. The activities can range from writing letters to Santa, cruising around and admiring neighborhood Christmas lights, making homemade bread dough ornaments, and anything else you can imagine!

Gift Giving
Christmas is the season for giving. Encourage your kiddos to get in on the fun by planning a week or ten days of small thoughtful, giving activities that they can help you with. Bake cookies for your mail carrier, write a thank you note to their teacher, etc. Let your kids help brainstorm ways to give to others!

Personalized Christmas Ornaments
We all have our personal favorites when it comes to holiday traditions, and it should come as no surprise that ours are personalized Christmas ornaments! Don't fool yourselves into thinking that our beautiful handmade ornaments only serve as one-time gifts; getting a new customized Christmas ornament with your name and the year can be a great way to watch the years go by.

The holidays will be here before we know it. It's definitely not too soon to start planning your holiday traditions! How do you plan on celebrating with your family?

Passing Down My Passion for Christmas

My daughter, Kimberly, joined me in my personalized ornament business 3 years ago. This is the mompreneur business I started right after she was born so I could be a stay-at-home mom. I am so proud that she has designed her first ornament in 2014 that was picked up by the company that I design for to be sold in stores and catalogs around the world.

It is a whimsical, happy snowman popping out of a Christmas package. The package was embossed in red with the addition of the Christmas green bow along with the lime green scarf and mittens. This ornament will be a delight for anyone who receives one. Personalize with their name and date and you've made a memory!

 

 



Kim was born on Christmas Day, which is fitting that she was made to be in the business of Christmas. Early on she was coloring, painting and playing with playdough all through the day. She would get her playdough along with her own cookie sheet and make her ornaments just like me...this was soooo cute!

 

 

A picture of Kim and her sister, Kayla, making ornaments a very long time ago!

 

 

It is truly a dream that I can work with my daughter and pass the creative trade on to her. We are both dedicated to "making memories one ornament at a time!"

Celebrate the Graduate with a Personalized Ornament

The month of May can mean so much for so many. The little tike that has graduated pre-school into Kindergarten launching their school career. How cute they are at that age! The high schooler that has finished their journey of growth into adulthood and then there are the college graduates that now get to begin their life in the direction their dreams have lead. There were the early mornings, all the homework, the late nights at the library, the plays and awards ceremonies, and all of the other traditions leading to the academic graduation. What a whirlwind it has been! That special person in your life deserves something personal to commemorate this great occasion.

I still have my graduation ornament from 1998 that I bring out every year to treasure on my Christmas tree. It reminds me of all the hard work and dedication it took to earn that diploma.

We have many options to choose from for your graduate...



Do you have a specific school or year you would like your ornament to be customized to?

It’s a gift to be cherished forever!
