Have Yourself a Nostalgic Little Christmas

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The holiday season is packed full of traditions, wonderful memories, and a sense of comfort that we look forward to all year long. It’s amazing how one sip of Grandma’s special hot chocolate recipe or hearing our favorite classic Christmas song causes us to reminisce on the yesteryears. These special memories remind us of what’s important and help us to take time to look back and reflect. Check out some of our favorite Holiday Traditions and give the gift of nostalgia this year with our commemorative “Christmas KardLet^®.”

Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree

Get the whole family together and go out to cut down the perfect tree. Find a local tree farm and make a whole event out of it. Short and plump, tall and regal. Your family is sure to find a tree as unique as you all are. Strap your tree down for the ride and then fill your home with the irreplaceable scent of a freshly cut tree. Crank up the holiday tunes and heat up the cider. It’s time to get to work. Make decorating your tree a family affair. Save turning on the lights for the very end and have a special tree lighting. Enjoy all the “oooohs” and “aaahhhs” and be sure to snap some pictures.

Christmas Breakfast

The only thing to get your family out of bed faster on Christmas morning, other than the lure of Santa’s gifts, is the smell of Christmas Morning Casserole baking in the oven. This easy to make recipe can be prepared the night before and is perfect to enjoy on holiday mornings.
