As the scent of eucalyptus mingles with the faint whisper of Christmas carols in the Australian air, there's a delightful way to officially kick off the festive season: the 1st December Christmas Box. Forget waiting until Christmas Eve – this charming tradition builds anticipation and joy right from the very first day of the month.
What is a 1st December Christmas Box?
Think of it as a little pre-Christmas present, a curated collection of items designed to get everyone in the festive spirit. It's a wonderful way to create a special moment on the 1st of December and set a joyful tone for the weeks leading up to Christmas. While not as widely known as its Christmas Eve counterpart, the 1st December box offers its own unique charm and a longer period of festive engagement.
What to Include in Your 1st December Box:
The contents of your box can be tailored to your family's interests and traditions, but here are a few ideas to get you started:
-
Festive Treats: Think individually wrapped chocolates, candy canes, or other Christmas-themed sweets. Perhaps some special Christmas biscuits to enjoy with a morning cuppa.
-
Christmas Activities: Include a Christmas-themed colouring book and crayons, a simple Christmas craft activity, or a festive puzzle to enjoy together.
-
Cosy Comforts: New Christmas socks, a soft festive-themed blanket, or even some Christmas-scented candles or wax melts can add a touch of warmth and cosiness.
-
A Touch of Sparkle: Small Christmas decorations to hang on the tree or around the house can be a lovely addition. Perhaps a new ornament each year to build a collection.
-
A Festive Story: A Christmas picture book to read aloud together is a wonderful way to start the season.
