For the holiday season, people who celebrate Christmas tend to approach it in a more traditional way, with the usual Christmas tree, Stockings, Turkey Dinner, and gifts at the end of the night and the next morning. The red, green and gold colors will be present, as well as a certain feeling of home and family. There’s nothing wrong with that, and keeping it simple is always great, but if you’re a creative person or are looking for a less traditional approach, Christmas Ideas are readily available to fill your holiday needs.

With this in mind, today we’ll be looking at some Christmas Ideas that are a bit different and will give you and your family plenty of fun and entertaining activities and crafts to do prior to the Christmas Dinner and after you open up the presents. Be warned though, that most of these involve you making and crafting Christmas Items, so it’s time to bring out the artist in you!

3.-Make your own Christmas tree decorations

A good activity for you and your family is to make your own Christmas tree decorations. There are many types of decorations that are quite easy to make, so we’ll take a look at the easiest ones.

The faces decorations

The idea is to print out pictures of faces of your friends and loved ones, and use them instead of Christmas globes. This is a way to have them present in our Christmas celebration, even if the live far away.

The bottle cap snowmen

Just take three bottle caps, spray paint them white and then paint the snowmen’s faces on. Glue them to a ribbon about 10 inches long, fold it in half and make a noose to use them as decoration. You can tie smaller ribbons between the first and second bottle cap, to simulate the snowmen’s scarf.

Light bulb penguin ornaments

Simply buy some light bulbs, turn them upside down, and paint them in the likeness of penguins. Then add a small cord and hang them on your tree!

2. - Mason jar fun

This is pretty self-explanatory. A good way of getting your family involved in these activities is to buy some mason jars and get some candy, some hot chocolate and some marshmallows. You and your family can choose to make your own hot chocolate or candy jars to eat before or after the Christmas dinner. This may seem like one of the simplest Christmas Ideas, but its great fun.

1.-DIY Gifts

A great way of creating good family memories is by, in addition to any gifts you’ve already bought, giving something hand made to your loved ones. It’s important to do it somewhere they can’t see, so it will still be a surprise to them, and try to keep away from macaroni crafts. It is still a Christmas gift after all.

We hope these Christmas Ideas will make your celebrations a bit different this year, be sure to share this with your friends and family and if you’re looking for a special gift for that special someone, contact us! We hope you have a very merry Christmas!
