I usually try not to think too much about Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving. No Christmas music, no Christmas movies, no Christmas decorating or baking. Thanksgiving has always been the official kick-off of the holiday season and I have always been pretty strict about that policy. At least that was my policy
before I started a gift basket business. It's a little hard to wait until the day after Thanksgiving to think Christmas when you're in the gifting business. It's more like we start thinking Christmas in June or July!
All of those traditions - decorating with lights, baking cookies of varied flavors, sending cards to those near and far - are just a few of the ways we make our own joyous Christmas. While I am excited to begin all of my own family traditions, I would love to hear about yours. Tell us about your own favorite Christmas tradition and enter our latest giveaway:
this would make a perfect gift for Christmas.
