2. Create a countdown routine for Christmas Day.

Being around to create the countdown routine, we would like to introduce you to an Advent calendar. The calendar is a unique calendar used to count the days of Advent in anticipation of Christmas. Traditional Advent calendars feature the manger scene, Saint Nicholas, and winter weather. They come in many forms, from a simple paper calendar with flaps covering each day to fabric pockets on a background scene to painted wooden boxes with cubby holes for small items. Nowadays, there are many Christmas gifts based on the Advent calendar. You can prepare, decorate and put the little presents for the handmade Advent by yourself. It would be a meaningful present to our beloved acquaintance.

3. Set up a Christmas tree - Build up a snowman

One of the favorite holiday traditions is adding to our ornament Christmas tree collection. Traditionally, the Christmas trees should be put up and decorated at the start of Advent, in which Christians prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. On the other hand, the perfect timing to set up the Christmas tree is in the middle of December. Besides, others like to start decorating much earlier to make the most of the festivities. It all depends on us. Choose our favorite time to decorate the festive tree! Along with putting the Christmas tree up, we also enjoy building our snowman because snows often fall hard these days

4. Gather your friends

My friends, it's cold outside! It's the most wonderful time to gather friends around. A Christmas Gathering is simply a holiday party, and it's a beautiful way to invite friends and neighbors to your home to hear and feel the loving and cozy atmosphere.

5. Stay in touch with Santa Claus.

A letter to the North Pole is probably the best and most long-lasting way to get in touch with Saint Nicholas. From our old days, we believe that writing a letter of wish-list to Santa Claus as soon as the beginning of December was one of the ways to enroll in his Nice children list.

6. Enjoy the Christmas recipes

10. Stay in Holy Church on Christmas Eve

It is a long-time tradition. Millions of people go to church on Christmas Eve. They crowd shoulder-to-shoulder in pews to sing "Silent Night" and light candles and listen to soloists belt out "O Holy Night. You can be a part of recreating the birth of Jesus with a cast of 10-year-olds in bathrobes. When midnight comes, Jesus Christ is born, we exchange hearty "Merry Christmas!" wishes before getting in their cars and heading home.
