Mince pies, carol singing, advent calendars and dad’s falling asleep in front of the TV watching a christmas film are all great and classic christmas traditions, but they can get stale and a bit repetitive as the years go by.
As family members come and go you may want to introduce some new Christmas traditions into the mix, something to keep everyone entertained and happy no matter what age they may be.
You may double take and think ‘hey! This is already a tradition of mine’ but you haven't seen these wonderfully crafted letters from Santa and the great deals and packages we have available to order. Starting from £5.99 you can order just a handcrafted letter from Santa. This can make the build up to Christmas all the more fun for your little ones as they will be getting very excited over the letter. You could also have fun activities to do and be able to decorate your tree with wonderful magic snow! All in the company of their new elf buddy, Ernie.
Stockings on the mantelpiece are a great way to get your kids excited about Christmas, but now when it comes to larger presents you can order one of our personalised Christmas santa sacks. Set the scene well with magic snow and enhance the anticipation of Santa’s visit with these sacks, they can be personalised for your children and come in a number of different designs to suit your style. You can go for the classic vintage looking print, or something a bit more fun like ‘Do not open until 25 Dec’. Check out our reviews on the website link at the bottom of the page if you're unsure. ‘Looks just as the image shows’, ‘Beautifully made, shipped and arrived quickly’. These unique christmas gifts last an entire childhood and beyond due to them being made with the best quality hessian and printed with your chosen design. At only £19.99 this is well worth the price for something top quality and long lasting!
With kids being introduced to technology at a younger and younger age why not take advantage of this by introducing them to phone calls and texts from santa, for £8.49 you can arrange for Santa (a professional actor) to call you up and talk to your children or to send you a 3 text messages for your children to read for as little as £3.49. These calls and texts will be personalised and you can either choose from pre-written texts, edit them or write your very own message. These messages can contain the child's name, age, town Santa will be visiting, a best friend or family member's name and much more. These texts and calls are one way only, so unfortunately your little ones won't be able to call Santa back to ask him what presents he's bringing them.

One of my personal favourite traditions is decorating the christmas tree, and you can do that and make it an extra special occasion by introducing new decorations every holiday season. If you get the kids involved at a young age then the memories of that will stick with them all the way until they get older, they will then remember the specific decorations from what year they were bought… Nostalgia triggering!!!
Over on Santaspostoffice there are handmade and handcrafted decorations that once again can be personalised and changed with names of you and your family on them. Starting from £9.99 you can choose between the snow globe looking tree decoration with your own house address on a handcrafted wooden house, or matt and metallic glass bauble which can also be personalised with your name on it. A perfect gift to last a lifetime and to kickstart a new tradition to make new memories.
Christmas is a time for family and family traditions and hopefully this article has helped you decide on some potential new ideas that can carry on over the years and be passed down on to your children and grandchildren.
Hurry though while stocks last as leaving it too late might mean that you could miss out for a year.
But if one thing is certain, no matter what happens and whichever tradition you decide to adopt, dad’s will still fall asleep on their chair wearing a christmas hat. That is one tradition that will never die out.
