The winter solace starts on the 21st of December and is the shortest day in the year. Pagans believed in holding a festival of the sun to encourage its return and bring good fortune and bountiful crop with it. Accompanying this were a number of practices still very much in evidence today over the festive season.

11 Celtic Christmas Themes
1. The Yule log that we all have on our mantelpiece is reminiscent of the time when an oak log was burnt for twelve hours using the remnants of the previous years to light it. Once it had been burnt the log was decorated and kept throughout the year and its ashes were spread on the fields to encourage a good harvest.
11 Celtic Christmas Themes
2. Decorating your house with holly and ivy is very much a druidic tradition. They believed that these evergreens along with their blood red berries were a sign of fertility and rebirth. It was placed around doors and windows, so as to capture evil spirits before they entered the house in its spiky leaves. Echoes of this are in today's practice of placing holly wreaths on front doors.
3. The same is true of mistletoe which grows in the boughs of the oak tree. Druids would cut it down with a golden sickle making sure that it did not touch the ground. Meeting beneath a sprig of mistletoe was considered fortunate and a sign of goodwill; hence nowadays at Christmas we suspend it above doorways and exchange kisses if we meet beneath it.
4. Advent wreaths again have their roots in Celtic traditions. The countdown to the celebrations was marked with an evergreen holly wreath or a Celtic rope knot to hold four or five candles. One was lit each week in the lead up to Christmas. Traditionally there were 24 candles, the last of which was lit on the winter solace, bringing most light at the time when the world outside is at its darkest.
5. Place a lit candle in your window to welcome Mary and Joseph should they be passing.
6. Catching the Wren, traditionally an Irish feast celebrated on St Stephen's Day, December 26th, where participants would try to catch a wren, bringing them good luck. Now it is considered more as a time for going door to door, carol singing and passing around the hat.
7. Hogmanay, the Scottish four day festival of the New Year, is when the streets come alive with singing, dancing and partying. These include eating of haggis, a mince, potato and onion based filling put into a sheep stomach.
8. January 6th is the day to celebrate Little Christmas. Here traditionally women have the day off housework and the Christmas decorations are taken down. It is considered bad luck to take them down before or leave them up after this date.
9. The Celtic knot is a prime example symbolizing the life force, as in its never ending circle it weaves its path. These can be used in a variety of decorative ways, as place settings, Christmas cards or wreaths for your front door.
10. Christmas cake, Christmas pudding/ Plum Pudding or Figgy Pudding contain a rich mix of dried fruit, nuts and brandy. You start making them at the end of harvest and leave them to mature in time for Christmas. A cake of plenty made in the deep midst of winter.
11. In Scotland they have the tradition of First Footing, where at the stroke of midnight neighbors visit each other with a small gift, fruit cake or shortbread in return for a wee dram of whiskey. In other parts it is lucky for the first person to enter the house on New Years Day to bring a piece of coal as good luck for the coming year. Tall dark handsome men are thought to be the luckiest, while red headed women are sadly the least lucky ones to have knock on your door.
The Christmas greetings you will hear throughout both Wales and Ireland in the traditional Celtic languages are in Welsh "Nadolig Llawn" and in Gaelic "Nollaig Shona duit". However you choose to say it, have a Happy Christmas.

Being a part of the set of traditional Christmas Ornaments these beautifully crafted and made by hand (if natural) decoration brings forth freshness to the holiday seasons fun.
Holiday Wreath
Christmas Wreath Complete Information
Christmas wreaths come in a variety of designs and shapes. However traditionally these are Circular in shape. Primarily these can be fresh or Synthetic. The fresh item which is more pleasing on the eye but priced higher will lift the Christmas spirit as perhaps only a gaily decorated natural Christmas tree of fresh balsam bough could. It brings freshness to the whole theme of decorations giving it a rich feeling. If you are looking for impressiveness it is the Fresh wreath you have to look for.
Christmas Wreath Complete Information
You may find Fresh Christmas wreaths commercially available as;
o Those wreaths with Gold colored pine cones and a maroon bow of velvet
o Traditional design Wreaths with pine cones and berries and no bow.
o Those with white tipped pine cones and with a red water proof velvet bow thrown in.
o Plain wreath with only a Red bow
o Tear Drop shaped Wreath of balsam with a red bow of velvet
o Ones with tiny LED lights embedded for that exclusive effect.
Functionally the wreaths could be to;
o As an ornament on the Christmas Tree
o Wall and Mantle decoration
o As a tribute to dear departed close ones who would not be home for this Christmas.
Again the wreaths would be classified according the region of origin and the plant material used.
As for the sizes the standard is Circular pattern with an approximate diameter of 12 inches. The thickness could be anything around 4 inches. The tear drop shaped could be about 27 inches long and 16 inches wide. Here too the thickness could be about 4 inches. Each design offers you a variety of choices to get the right feeling of your Christmas décor.
One important factor we must not forget when selecting Christmas wreath is that, these should last the Holiday season. Naturally one would expect the manufacturers to look in to this and take action appropriately. Ask them and make sure before you make the commitment.
In spite of being natural some retailers offer ones with somewhat dry textured foliage, so due to processing or age. These do not have the feel of the "fresh off tree" feeling and also do not last that long. So be choosy when you want to buy Christmas Wreaths! Luckily now these can be ordered on line unlike in the days gone by. The items would be shipped generally overland by courier services and will reach you in no time.

Christmas Spelling Game
Holiday Wreath
Christmas Classroom Activities for Fun and Learning
One of the Christmas classroom activities that is sure to be a hit with the kids is the Christmas Spelling Bee Game. Although it might not sound like fun, kids love this fast moving game that has an element of chance to it.
Christmas Classroom Activities for Fun and Learning
For this Christmas game the children stand in a circle. The caller gives a word for the children to spell and nominates the person to start. Children give one letter at a time going in a clockwise direction. The child who is after the person who says the last letter says 'Jingle Bells'. Then the next child is out and sits down. If a child says a wrong letter, they are out and sit down also. Then the next person must give the correct letter. When the word is completed, the caller then gives the next word and play continues around the circle. The last child standing is the winner. Christmas words can be used for the spelling bee. Here are some words to get you started, stocking, chimney, wreath, carols, elves, merry, holly, presents, Santa, angel, Rudolph, tree, candles, sleigh, and decorations.
Christmas Math Activities
Christmas math activities are also ideal as Christmas classroom activities. A simple Christmas math activity is to draw several Christmas trees on the board and then put the numbers from an addition, subtraction, multiplication or division operation jumbled up in each tree. The pattern for the operation is then written under the tree. If the numbers 2, 4, 6 and 7 are in the tree, the pattern? X? =??, would be added under the tree. Children then have to unjumble the numbers in the tree to create a true operation to fit the pattern. The answer for this one would be 6 X 7 = 42. More complex operations can also be used.
Other Christmas classroom activities include Christmas craft activities where decorations, gifts, cards and wrapping paper can be made.
Christmas Pasta Wreath
A simple but very effective Christmas craft activity is to make a Christmas wreath from a paper plate and different shaped pasta pieces. Cut a hole out of the center of the paper plate and then glue pasta around the wreath shape in a pattern. It won't look very interesting yet, but spray it with silver or gold spray paint and it will great. It can then have a ribbon tied to the top of it and be hung on a door or wall as a Christmas decoration.
There are loads and loads of Christmas classroom activities than be used to give the kids some fun in the classroom before Christmas. If you choose your activities carefully, then not only will the kids have fun but they will also be learning at the same time.

Lets start from the outside. Decorating your house with lights is the preferred thing. In today's age of global warming and inconvenient truths, why not get something like a 50 Multi Pinecone Christmas LED Lights Set. A typical set would be with a bunch of Led lights set across around eighteen feet. There is a spacing of about four inches between the lights. These are United States UL approved lights, for 120 volts performance. These are long lasting and energy saving, compared to normal lights. That takes care of the late evening and night.

Unique Christmas Decorations That Stand Out
If you stay in warmer climes with no threat of snow, your daytime Christmas decoration could consist of some special new attractive potted plants displayed in your driveway or at your front door or patio.
Unique Christmas Decorations That Stand Out
Christmas wreaths may be fresh as well as artificial. Typically evergreen plants have been used to make Christmas wreaths. Plants like holly, ivy and mistletoes, not only remain green throughout the year, but also bear fruit in the winter. So a wreath made of these at Christmas, signifies new and everlasting life, in keeping with the story of Jesus. Today with the degreening of the earth, there are concerns of destroying trees, and so we have very natural looking artificial wreaths that are now available to decorate your door. You can also make a wreath yourself from dried plants and branches, and decorate it with berries. This is a biodegradable thing and one need not worry about adding to the plastics of the world.
Finally we come to the decorations inside your home. LED lights may also be used to light up the area around and within your Christmas tree. While Origami Christmas decorations made personally by someone in the family would undoubtedly be the best thing, in today's world, of both parents working and school pressures, it's probably a great idea to plan in advance and buy your Christmas Decorations from some special places.
There is a "twelve days of Christmas" ornament collection from Vaillancourt Folk Art. Twelve distinctive and wonderful figurines depicting the twelve days of Christmas, maybe collected through the year, so as to not cause a dent in the pocketbook in December, and makes a great addition to your Christmas display.
Some exquisite red, yellow and green Chinese lanterns are popular Christmas decorations as well, and these come with wonderful designs that gleam brightly when the lantern is lit up. St Nicholas figurines, and a black Santa can add something new to the usual decorations. There are figurines of a knight in shining armor, there is a Santa-coming-through-the-chimney figurine, and there are interesting chandeliers you can hang on your tree, with a Joyeux Noel Angel presiding from atop the tree.
Should you be planning to do a nativity Scene, there are several glass ornaments, and Vaillancourt Folk Art chalk figures that you can use.

When the word is completed, the caller then gives the next word and play continues around the circle. The last child standing is the winner. Christmas words can be used for the spelling bee. Here are some words to get you started, stocking, chimney, wreath, carols, elves, merry, holly, presents, Santa, angel, Rudolph, tree, candles, sleigh, and decorations.
Christmas Math Activities
Christmas math activities are also ideal as Christmas classroom activities. A simple Christmas math activity is to draw several Christmas trees on the board and then put the numbers from an addition, subtraction, multiplication or division operation jumbled up in each tree. The pattern for the operation is then written under the tree. If the numbers 2, 4, 6 and 7 are in the tree, the pattern? X? =??, would be added under the tree. Children then have to unjumble the numbers in the tree to create a true operation to fit the pattern. The answer for this one would be 6 X 7 = 42. More complex operations can also be used.
Other Christmas classroom activities include Christmas craft activities where decorations, gifts, cards and wrapping paper can be made.
Christmas Pasta Wreath
A simple but very effective Christmas craft activity is to make a Christmas wreath from a paper plate and different shaped pasta pieces. Cut a hole out of the center of the paper plate and then glue pasta around the wreath shape in a pattern. It won't look very interesting yet, but spray it with silver or gold spray paint and it will great. It can then have a ribbon tied to the top of it and be hung on a door or wall as a Christmas decoration.
There are loads and loads of Christmas classroom activities than be used to give the kids some fun in the classroom before Christmas. If you choose your activities carefully, then not only will the kids have fun but they will also be learning at the same time.

Christmas Spelling Game

Christmas Classroom Activities for Fun and Learning
One of the Christmas classroom activities that is sure to be a hit with the kids is the Christmas Spelling Bee Game. Although it might not sound like fun, kids love this fast moving game that has an element of chance to it.

For this Christmas game the children stand in a circle. The caller gives a word for the children to spell and nominates the person to start. Children give one letter at a time going in a clockwise direction. The child who is after the person who says the last letter says 'Jingle Bells'. Then the next child is out and sits down. If a child says a wrong letter, they are out and sit down also. Then the next person must give the correct letter. When the word is completed, the caller then gives the next word and play continues around the circle. The last child standing is the winner. Christmas words can be used for the spelling bee.

Leading up to the Christmas holiday, the Spanish celebrate a tradition called "Hogueras" (bonfires). This is a celebration of the winter solstice which is the shortest day of the year. At this time, people jump over a bonfire, symbolizing a protection against illness. Also during the winter solstice, swing sets are constructed to be used by the people in the belief that by swinging high they will cause the sun to move higher in the sky.

Popular Christmas Traditions and Christmas Decorations in Spain
On Christmas Eve, tiny lamps are lit in the windows throughout the villages, representing the stars in the Christmas Eve sky. At midnight, bells are rung in each of the villages, calling everyone to "La Misa Del Gallo", the Mass of the Rooster. It is called this because the rooster was known as the first of the animals to announce Christ's birth.
Popular Christmas Traditions and Christmas Decorations in Spain
After the midnight Mass, Christmas dinner is served. The traditional holiday meal includes "Pavo Trufado de Navidad", which is Christmas turkey with truffles. Roast lamb, suckling pig, duck, and seafood such as lobster, shrimp, trout and salmon may also be served, depending on which part of the country one is in. Traditional desserts may include marzipan, made of honey, almonds and eggs, and polvorones, which is a sweetbread. Nuts, dried fruits, and caramel custard are among other desserts served. No meal is complete without a drink. Cava is the Spanish champagne, and it often accompanies the Christmas meal.
In many countries a visit by Santa Claus is an important part of a Christmas celebration. However, in Spain, this is not the case. The children do receive small gifts from "Papa Noel" on Christmas, but this is not a big part of the festivities. Instead, they celebrate January 6, which is the Three King's Day, a day commemorating the Three Wise Men who brought gifts to the Baby Jesus. On January 5, the children take part in a parade to see the Three Kings when they come to their village or town. When given the chance, they ask the Three Kings for the presents they are hoping for. On the eve of this special day, the children leave their shoes out where they are easily found. They are filled with straw and carrots for the camels on which the Wise Men travel. On the next morning, the straw and carrots are gone, replaced by presents. On this day, a special dessert is served, the "Roscon de los Reyes" which is a large circular cake. It is decorated with candied fruits, which represent the jewels which were on the Three Kings' robes. There is a surprise baked into the cake, and whoever finds it becomes the king or queen of the house.
Spain's celebration of Christmas is similar to the manner in which other countries celebrate it with Christmas trees and Christmas wreaths.. But by also having its own unique traditions, a visitor can gain insight into the people of Spain and their lives. Knowing the traditions of various countries such as Spain can give one a new appreciation of the Christmas holiday around the world.

In fact, the first Advent wreaths were used by early Germanic tribes who would gather circles of evergreen and light fires as signs of hope for the coming spring. The circular structure served as a reminder of the constant passage of time and seasons. These wreaths we not lushly decorated the way they are today. Rather, wreaths were simple reminders of the coming season. This tradition was kept alive by 16th century Christians who used wreaths as celebratory symbols for the Advent season and the hope of Christ's birth.
Holiday Wreath
The History of the Christmas Wreath
In 1839, the Christmas wreath became even more instrumental to the Advent season. Johann Hinrich Wichern used a wreath made from a cart wheel to teach children about the meaning of Christmas and to help them count down its approach. For every Sunday of Advent, starting with the fourth Sunday before Christmas, he would put a white candle in the wreath and for every day in between he would use a red candle. The last candle would be lit on Christmas Eve. Such Advent wreaths used to be decorated with different natural materials such as: seedpods, pine cones, and nuts. Each decorative element carried its own meaning.
The History of the Christmas Wreath
Nowadays, Christmas wreaths are still used for their symbolic value. Many denominations of Christian church services still utilize the Advent wreath leading up to Christmas in anticipation of the birth of Christ. A new candle is lit each Sunday leading up to Christmas Eve, when the final candle is set ablaze.
However, Christmas wreaths are also used simply for their beautiful appearance and refreshing fragrance. Wreaths take on their own flavor in each home as families decorate their wreaths in their own style. In addition to pine cones and natural elements, wreaths are decorated with ribbons, photos, and toys. They are given as gifts for holiday party hosts and likewise serve as a welcome to guests. From front doors and archways to living room walls and dining room tables, Christmas wreaths provide the perfect festive touch to any holiday gathering. So the next time you are enjoying your wreath, think back to Advent wreath's history - just as rich as its fresh evergreen scent.

Many of us strive to make our homes Christmas-perfect, by creating that welcoming "Merry Christmas" feeling any time you, your family or your guests step in. Your surroundings are an expression of yourself and you can easily help make that happen with the use of Christmas wreaths, garlands, swags and Holiday flowers.
Holiday Wreath
Bringing Christmas Into Any Room With Greenery Wreaths, Garlands and Swags
Christmas should touch every room in your home and since every room has a focal point, you can play that up with Christmas greenery and/or florals. Fresh greens are fantastic, but taking into consideration today's economy, artificial greenery might be an option that is both versatile and cost effective. Choosing artificial greenery of good quality is very important. Look for something that looks real...like "real touch" or "natural touch" greens and flowers and be prepared to fool many a guest! Use your Christmas greenery to bring attention to the entrances to each doorway. Hang garland around every doorway and archway so that when your guests walk around they feel like they are filled with Christmas cheer. Use swags to adorn a door or showcase a picture or a mirror. Each room can have its own theme and you can work with what's in your home already. Choose a theme to suit each room, something to compliment the colors of what's already there. If you have a room that's decorated in beautiful shades of yellows and golds you may not want to throw a red poinsettia into the mix. A poinsettia in warm gold or copper tones will be just as festive and will not compete with your decor colors. Adding Christmas plants or flowers should allow the colors of the room to continue to flow.
Bringing Christmas Into Any Room With Greenery Wreaths, Garlands and Swags
Dried-look flowers are great options to consider for use during the holidays. Dried-look flowers have remained popular over time and pairing them with silk flowers continue to be a timeless classic. Faux flowers are a great way to decorate and will last long past the Christmas season. Arrangements of Christmas flowers will help you bring the Holiday spirit into any room in your home. You can make small arrangements combining Christmas greenery sprigs, silk and dried-look flowers in several small vases to use on a dining table as centerpieces for a festive dinner setting. And if your decor theme is neutral, you may want to showcase Holiday flowers in festive red and green colors in large vases to be placed on different tables throughout your home.
The Christmas season is short and it should be enjoyed from beginning to end. Holiday greenery and flowers are a addition to make that happen. Create a theme and enjoy!
