"The true spirit of Christmas is love." - Anonymous
Day 15 is here and we are looking at all things Christmas Tradition. These are traditions I know of and have researched, please add in your own traditions or ones you know of!
This time of year is full of joy, love, and celebration. From decorating the tree to baking cookies and spending time with loved ones, there are so many things to look forward to. In this blog post, we will explore some of the most popular Christmas traditions and how they came to be.
One of the most iconic Christmas traditions is decorating the Christmas tree. But did you know that the tradition actually started in Germany in the 16th century? I didn't initially... The first decorated trees were adorned with fruits, nuts, and other small gifts. Today, we use ornaments, lights, and garlands to add some sparkle and cheer to our homes. I do know some people who still add dried fruits to their tree even today.
Another popular Christmas tradition is the exchange of gifts. This tradition dates back to the story of the Three Wise Men who brought gifts to the baby Jesus. Nowadays, we exchange gifts with our loved ones as a way to show our appreciation and love for them. It's a wonderful way to spread joy and cheer during the festive season.
Finally, no Christmas celebration is complete without some delicious food. From turkey and stuffing to mashed potatoes, there are so many delicious dishes to enjoy. And let's not forget about the sweet treats like gingerbread cookies, fruitcake, and candy canes. These foods have become synonymous with Christmas and are a beloved part of the festive season.
Christmas is a time to celebrate with family and friends, to enjoy delicious food, and to appreciate the traditions that have been passed down for generations. From decorating the tree to exchanging gifts, there are so many wonderful ways to celebrate this special time of year.
Christmas is also a time to remember what we have to be grateful for and not forgetting the true meaning of Christmas...
I hope you are all enjoying this festive season and the daily blogs, see you again for day 16.
