Family Christmas Ideas

Christmas time used to mean something a little different than it does now. As a kid growing up thru the 70′s it seemed to be a standard thing that at Christmas time, that the family would get together and spend Christmas Eve putting up last minute decorations while moms and grandmas were preparing the food for the next day. The children on the other hand were left to mostly entertain themselves till Xmas morning, and nine times out of ten this would involve games and Jigsaw Puzzles.

Christmas Jigsaw Puzzle

There was always a jigsaw puzzle close at hand. A jigsaw puzzles were always a fun part of the Chirtmas as we would set up a massive one and all of the family would join in and begin to fit the pieces where they belonged. Unusually enough there would always be a lot of laughter and mucking around as folk got the pieces mixed up and attempted to put them in places where they were obviously not engineered to go. Everybody used to like this activity, from the older family members like grandma and grandpas, right down to the cousins and nephews who were all pre-teen ages.

We have come a great distance over the last few decades with Christmas jigsaw puzzles now big business in the lead up to the festive season. Whatever store you walk into, there will be Christmas jigsaw puzzles everywhere. Online there are many places where you can buy superb Christmas puzzle.

Quality Personalized Puzzles

Imagine that big dining table covered with a 1500 piece puzzle of a picture that contains vacation scene from the past or last christmas festivities.

Christmas is a wonderful holiday and it’s no surprise that people around the world anxiously await its arrival each year.

But sometimes Christmas traditions can begin to feel a little stale and boring.

This year, try starting a new tradition by replacing the classic Christmas tree with one of these exciting designs:

Pre-Lit Christmas Tree

Pre-lit trees make a wonderful choice, especially if you don’t have the time or money to get a real Christmas tree year after year. They’re easy to assemble, they never need watering, and best of all the built in lights make decorating a snap! This is a popular choice for families looking for a easy to manage Christmas tree that will last from year to year. Find our more…

Spiral Christmas Tree

If you’re looking for an unusual design this year, try a spiral Christmas tree. With beautiful flowing lines and many colors available, both lit and un lit, these trees will look amazing in any home, especially around modern décor.

Colored Christmas Tree

Really want a Christmas tree but don’t want it to clash with your décor? Consider a colored Christmas tree! They are available in colors ranging from blue to black to silver, purple and everything in between.

Miniature Christmas Tree

Let’s face it, some of us simply don’t have room for a full size Christmas tree, or the room to store one after the holidays. Maybe you live in a dorm or a small apartment and free space is at a premium. But that doesn’t mean you can’t show your holiday spirit. Consider getting a miniature tabletop Christmas tree! Because of their small footprint, these work very well on dining room tables, side tables, dressers and many other places.

Tropical Christmas Tree

Most Christmas trees are fir, spruce or pine, but who says you have to stick to tradition? Go for a tropical Christmas tree this year! Palm trees work especially well and will look amazing in your home.

Upside Down Christmas Tree

These unconventional and whimsical trees are definitely one of a kind, and will put any traditional Christmas tree to shame. Imagine the look on your guest’s faces when they drop by for the holidays this year!

Charlie Brown Christmas Tree

Otherwise known as the “lonely tree,” this movie classic with sparse branches makes a great conversation piece for your holiday guests. If you’re looking for something different this year, give this poor and lonely looking Christmas tree a chance to brighten your holiday spirits!

Festivus Pole (tree?)

Finally, if you’re a Seinfeld fan, why not go for a Festivus pole this year? It’s the anti-Christmas tree: no lights, no ornaments and no tinsel — just a bare aluminum pole. This hilarious Festivus tradition is sure to get a laugh out of even the biggest Grinch this holiday season.

If your Christmas traditions are starting to feel a little old and boring, try one of our amazing Christmas tree ideas to bring new life to the holidays! Merry Christmas!
