I heard that Martha, over at Beyond the Literary Horizon,
was going to do a Christmas themed blog party and, since I love
Christmas, I quickly agreed to join. There are just 4 of us bloggers so
you should have time to visit us all each day. And there is a giveaway. I
hope you'll join us every-other-day for more Christmas fun! Let's get
started!
Activities
There are so many fun things to do at Christmas time. If I wasn't so busy I'd do more. Things like:
- Making tiny boxes from old Christmas cards.
- Folding paper into 3D Moravian stars
- Some Scherenschnitte (German for paper cutting)
- Christmas stars from old Christmas cards or paper
If you are looking for something fun to do for yourself or with siblings, try some of the above mentioned activities. If you click on the linked words they will take you to the posts on how to make those things. And there are pictures of them.
The last thing mentioned–Christmas stars– came from a loved Christmas book about a family in New York. They also make those stars in the story. It's a beautiful tale based on real people and happenings. If you can find a copy, The Lion in the Box is worth reading. (Click on the title to read my review.)
Don't forget to check out the other blogs who are participating in this fun Christmas party! And enter the giveaway!

Oh, these look fun! I don't think I've ever done any of them, but I'd love to try them this Christmas - especially the Scherenschnitte. 😉 We like cutting out paper snowflakes to hang in the windows.
Cutting snowflakes is fun. Scherenschnitte just takes it to a different level of cutting. :) Hope you can try some of these.
I love these ideas!!
:) Let me know if you do any of them, Katja. :)
