Elf Ornaments

August 4th, 2008

One of my favorite things to do is search the internet for wonderful Christmas items. I enjoy looking for items to add to my collections such as Old World Santas, fairies, and elves. Many of the members here at Magical Holiday Home enjoy elves whether we call them Magic Elves, Santa’s Visiting Elves, or Spy Elves….they all serve the same purpose to delight children and keep the magic of Christmas alive in today’s hectic world. So imagine my delight when I stumbled across Deb. & Co.  This site offers many cute and unique items. My fave of course is the elf ornaments.

Check out this cute one. Wouldn’t it be the perfect: Hello From the North Pole gift for the Magic Elves to bring when they visit? Since some of the tradition involves the elves reporting back good and bad behavior to Santa, this little cutie with the children’s names personalized on it would be adorable.

 Then we have this version with the Santa Stops Here sign….perfect as a reminder for Santa to stop…not just to leave gifts but to pick up the visiting elves for their return trip to the North Pole.      These would be perfect on an elf tree…covered with elf ornaments, minature elf accessories, and maybe even make those little elf passports and clip on a hanger to add them to the tree also.     There are lots of ideas for their use:  Make an elf wreath using them. Use them as part of an elf treasure hunt. Use the snowflake one and have it personalized with your elf’s name so they have a special ornament for the family tree. Write a story or poem about the ornament and have it “tell” of an elfcapade your family elf has gotten into since last year! I hope you enjoy looking around Deb and Co. as much as I did. Have some Elf Fun!!

August Monthly Magic

August 4th, 2008

One of the plans here at Magical Holiday Home is called Monthly Magic. This plan looks at each month’s events and activities and helps you keep them organized and on track.  In addition, Monthly Magic lists ideas for things to work on each Rudolph Day, Great Pumpkin Day, Turkey Day, and Hippity Hoppity Day.  Celebrate Me is also featured in Monthly Magic.  These ideas can be used or you can insert ones of your own but the idea is to have a basic monthly framework for organization and planning.

Each monthly list is posted by month is the left hand column. August Monthly Magic was just added. So check it out and get on track for the rest of 2008 and beyond! 

The holidays are approaching and the Halloween Countdown will be starting September 21st. Countdowns are another great way to get organized and stay on track. It’s BACK TO SCHOOL for many people so getting organized is even more important!
