Are Santa letters one of your family traditions?
Magical Christmas traditions …
Baking cookies for Santa, carol singing with your friends at the top of your lungs, writing Santa letters, hanging your Christmas stockings on the 10th of December, finding the orange at the bottom of the stocking (or the lump of coal!), leaving empty Santa sacks under the tree, BBQ on the beach Christmas Eve or dressing your dog up as Santa and parading him in all his glory?! So many wonderful and special things we all do to make this time of the year magical and memorable.

I’ve list the ones that tickle our Fancies the most at Love From Santa …
From Norway:
It is believed in Norway that on Christmas Eve, witches roam the skies along with other mischievous spirits. Since a witch’s prime mode of transportation is a broom, families hide all of their cleaning supplies attached to sticks, to stop the witches from stealing them.
From Iceland:
Why have one Santa Claus when you can believe in 13? That’s what children do in Iceland, where the “13 Yule Lads” are said to come to town two weeks before Christmas, and leave after the holiday. Once depicted as mischievous, they have taken on a more benevolent role in recent years.
From the Ukraine:
In the Ukraine, there’s a legend that a poor widow found a Christmas tree growing in her yard during the summer months. Her children were thrilled to finally have a tree, but she didn’t have money to decorate it. When the family woke up Christmas morning, a spider had spun a web around the tree, decorating it for the family.
When the youngest child opened the window on Christmas day and light hit the web, the web turned to silver and gold. Stemming from that legend, now people in the Ukraine hide spider webs in their trees and whoever finds it Christmas day will have good luck that year.
*T&Cs – Winners will be selected based on the levels of ‘magic’ in their tradition shared, they will notified at the end of the week.

Gorgeous Christmas stockings & Christmas sacks
Christmas stockings & Christmas sacks inspired by the simplicity and elegance of The Hampton’s
Wrapping paper, bows, strings & stickers are all the tempting ways we enhance our Christmas presents – but what about the delivery packaging for the accumulated parcels? Shouldn’t this be special too? We think so.
This is why we have created the most gorgeous and truly unique range of Christmas stockings & Christmas sacks out there. Not only will they make for the ultimate packaging for your children, these beautiful products can be proudly on display in your home fuelling the anticipation excitement and wonderment in the build up to Christmas.
Our Christmas stockings & Christmas sacks ranges have been crafted here in Australia inspired by the simplicity and elegance of The Hamptons. They have been made using quality heavy weight cotton and have a twisted cotton rope cord. French seams give extra strength and durability (to hold all those really heavy pressies). The screen printing is done using non toxic water based inks and the personalised name details are carefully embroidered using either red or silver thread. Simply heavenly!
Christmas sacks $64.95*
Christmas stockings $54.95*
(*Our prices include all taxes, postage rates calculated at checkout)

The Santa letter ‘creep’!?
So when did the 2015 Christmas Creep start?
See the link below from the Daily Telegraph that talks about CHRISTMAS CREEP 2015! Seems this year Christmas has started as early as August in some places around the world – and not just small places we are talking Selfridges in the UK, David Jones in Australia and Target too – selling Christmas wrapping paper, Christmas stockings and even new ranges of Christmas toys.
Personally we think that’s just a bit wrong, and totally creepy!
Poor ole Santa his holidays are getting cut shorter & shorter … and will the magical Santa letter join the ‘creep’ trend as well, however will Santa keep track?!
