Everything You Need for the Perfect Holiday

One of the best parts of the holiday season is the sheer number of days you have to enjoy all things festive. There’s nothing we love more than decking our halls (and wardrobes) with everything that makes time spent at home just a bit more cozy and spirited. These are all of our most favorite things this year to help you get into the holly-jolliest spirit.

 Life is Good

Experts suggest that women already take on the bulk of emotional and physical labor at home. This role intensifies around the holidays- picking the perfect Christmas card, buying every gift, and organizing every party. The magic that surrounds the holidays is crafted by women but at what price?

Yankee Candle

Daily Mom Parents Portal Holiday Decor

Just in time for the holidays Yankee Candle has debuted their new Elevation Collection with Platform Lids and you are going to love them! From your child’s teachers to your childhood best friend, everyone loves scented candles throughout the holiday and winter season. This new collection is perfect as a centerpiece or holiday decor, or even just in the corner of your kitchen or bath. A scented candle from Yankee Candle’s new winter collection is the go-to gift this season. We love the new medium square 3-wick candle with a 28-38 hour burn time in an attractive, decorative glass casing. The new gold-colored lid fits into the base of the candle taking your holiday decor to a whole new level. Available in scents such as Frosted Fir, Sweet Icing, and Holiday Pomegranate, there is a scent for everyone on your list. Make sure to pick up a few for friends, teachers, office assistants, and even yourself this holiday season. 

Pro-gifter tip: keep a few extra candles on hand this holiday season for last minute gifts for friends, neighbors, and hostesses because we all know those last minute gifting opportunities arise and you don’t want to be empty-handed. The added bonus is that if you don’t end up gifting the candles you will use them throughout the year yourself because the new seasonal scents are just glorious.

 Christmas Star From Afar

The Christmas Star From Afar New Holiday Decor

As parents, we often strive to find traditions that are both meaningful and playful for our kids. We want traditions that we can experience together as a family, and when it comes to Christmas, we particularly want our children to understand the real reason why we celebrate this special holiday. It’s not about the lights, the decorated trees, or even the gifts we receive (contrary to what our gift guides might suggest). Christmas is about the birth of a Savior.

The Christmas Star From Afar is a fun and unique activity that playfully shares the Christmas Story. Starting as early as December 1st, hide the Star and encourage your children to participate in a fun game of hide-and-seek to locate it. Once they have found their Star, move all Three Wise Men to its location. Then, on Christmas morning the Three Wise Men will reach their final destination when the Star is found at the stable with the newborn baby Jesus.

The Christmas Star From Afar 2018 Holiday Decor

The activity book includes a wooden Star, a full wooden nativity scene that matches the artwork of the book, and optional scripture to use throughout the month. Additional animals and scripture cards are also available. We’ve found that the scripture cards are not only great for the activity, but also make perfect gift tags, note cards or even lunch box notes.

Whether you are looking for an alternative to “elf” or just looking for a sweet way to enjoy the Advent season, you can easily combine the “Star From Afar” with other traditions your family participates in.

Reindeer in Here

Daily Mom Parents Portal Holiday Decor

Who loves Christmas traditions? We do! Especially those activities that celebrate individuality and create a positive experience for children, rather than spying on your kids for Santa (like a certain elf…on the shelf).

With Reindeer In Here, Santa brings a reindeer to every child on the first day of December. Santa sends this friend so that he can find out the wishes of each child and of course to see if they have been good. Oh and your child gets to name their reindeer, how fun is that?! No need for parents to move it every day around the house or come up with ridiculous antics! And not only can your child touch their reindeer friend, but they can take their reindeer to bed with them.

Daily Mom Parents Portal Holiday Decor

On Christmas Eve, each child puts their reindeer underneath the tree so it can join Santa on his trip back to the North Pole. Once Santa delivers each child’s true Christmas wishes, he gathers his reindeer and heads back to the North Pole, until next year when the reindeer arrive once more and the Christmas tradition begins all over again!

Start a new family tradition with your kids this year and send them a reindeer. We promise it’ll be a tradition your and your family will look forward to year after year.
