Even if Christmas sees us home alone this year, or with limited family or friends, here are some suggestions from the Meadow Sweet Grove fairy folk to make your season bright! Although 2020 might not allow for as much merry-making as is custom with Yule; you can still experience the magic of Christmas:

Dec 1 - Open your advent calendar
Dec 2 - Send pretty Christmas cards to friends
Dec 3 - Watch classic movies like:  A Christmas Carol or It's a
              Wonderful Life​

Dec 4 - Make a bowl of oranges studded with cloves - they smell
              wonderful


Dec 5 - Trim your cedar or holly tree and leave out the free trimmings for your neighbours ...
              or go on the search for pine cones or free trimmings someone left out for you!
Dec 6 - Decorate your front doorway with cedar boughs, holly & pine cones
Dec 7 - Build a snowman ... if you have snow, or watch Raymond Briggs' The Snowman

Dec 8 - Haul out the Christmas decorations and deck those halls
Dec 9 - Put up and decorate your Christmas Tree (save a few branches from the bottom)
Dec 10 - Make a wreath for the front door from stray branches cut from your Christmas tree
Dec 11 -
Wrap up all those gifts you kindly purchased from Meadow Sweet Grove! Cut up old
                Christmas cards to use for tags
Dec 12 - Make catnip bags for the kitties or homemade treats for the doggies
Dec 13 - Do your grocery shop (online if you can) to gather all the Christmas fixings together for
                 the big day
Dec 14 - Put together a Christmas puzzle with a child, spouse, roommate or by yourself with a
                 glass of wine of course!
Dec 15 - Bake sugar cookies and cut into old-fashioned shapes like trees, stars, & snowmen
Dec 16 - Drop some of those cookies off on a neighbour's doorstep, knock, walk away and wave
                from a safe distance

Dec 18 -
Make a cup of fancy hot chocolate

Dec 23 - Spend a quiet evening, gazing at the twinkling lights & enchanting ornaments on your
                Christmas tree ... pour your favourite drink!

Disclaimer: Many of the items sold are vintage or pre-loved. Quality of vintage items vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of production. They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing! They tend to be higher quality, last longer and include more attention to detail than today's products. However, safety standards do change over time, items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
