Ways to Hang Your Wreaths



If you are hanging a wreath on a barn door then a nail or a bent piece of wire may do the job. However would you be happy putting a nail in your porch door that you meticulously painted last year? what if you want to hang a wreath on your glass patio doors?

Over the door wreath hangers

These hangers are made to fit between the top of your door and the frame. Put up in seconds they provide a hook to hang over the top of your door and a hook to hang a wreath on. Plastic wreath hangers can be picked up from the dollar store but if you want to add a bit of style to your wreath then ornate metal ones can be bought online.

Magnetic window hangers

If you decide to hang your wreath on a steel surface or glass then these are ideal. When you purchase a set it will normally come with two non scratching magnets and two hooks. Simply place the magnets back to back on a single pane attach the hooks. The weight of wreaths the magnets can hold varies but most can hold up to 10lbs. Generally rain, snow or sleet does not have any affect.

Suction cup holder

Quite simply a giant suction cup with an easily release tab, these can be used on glass, plastic, and some tiles. These are ideal if you have a stained glass panel in your door.

Brick clips

These are exactly what their name implies a clip for bricks so no more drilling or unsightly holes. Choose the matching clip size for your brick and simply snap into place.

Wreaths can make an eye catching centre piece indoors or outdoors. Hanging a wreath on your front door or porch will bring in the seasons color or give a touch of style and make an ordinary porch become eye catching. Decorative wreaths are an inexpensive way of bringing nature in all its beauty into your home and enhance the decor around it.

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.

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!
