Give a gift that brings back memories of Christmas long ago where there was simplicity, warmth and real Christmas trees with gifts. People crocheted and knitted scarves, hats, and other clothing items for Christmas. Old fashioned Christmas gifts such as hand made dolls, notepaper, candles, and candy were also handmade. Think of beautiful Christmas images such as children walking with their fathers in the snow, pulling sleds full of firewood or Christmas trees, or families having their Christmas dinner of turkey and plum pudding.

The story of Saint Nicholas from long ago is why we now have a Santa Claus. Give the gifts of an old fashioned Christmas from the heart. There are many images of an old fashioned Christmas. Keep these images alive by having an old fashioned Christmas!
