12 Days of Christmas Traditions~Starting December 1st!

Hello Christmas Friends! Welcome and thanks so much for dropping by. I have been very busy these last couple of weeks, getting ready for my 12 Days of Christmas Series!

Each day I will be posting about different traditions that we hold dear at this special time of year. I'm so lucky that a couple of surprise guest bloggers will be joining me along the way!

I thought it might be nice if we all got to share some traditions and ideas at the same time so each day I will also include a link up gadget so you can share posts on the same theme.  On  the 12th Day, December 12,  I am hosting a linky party where we can share our posts on all things Christmas.

Here is the program!

December 1 ~ Christmas Advent Calendars

December 2 ~ Candy Canes

December 3 ~ Gingerbread Houses

December 4 ~ Oh, Christmas Tree!

December 5 ~ Father Christmas, Santa Claus or St Nick?

December 6 ~ Christmas Stockings

December 7 ~ Christmas Puddings

December 8 ~ Christmas Traditions around the world.

December 9 ~ Let's Eat:Christmas Foods and Yummy Treats!

December 10 ~ Christmas Music

December 11 ~ The Spirit of Christmas

December 12 ~ I'll be home for Christmas Linky Party!

You can link up any posts that celebrate Christmas on December 12th. You can share posts about Christmas Crafts, your decorated Christmas home, Christmas recipes, Christmas Songs...anything Christmassy!

I sure do hope you will be able to join me each day and that you can link up each day and help me Keep the Christmas Spirit Alive!

See you December 1st!

Blessings and best wishes,
