Christmas trees are everywhere in December, in people’s houses, in their gardens, in town and along the roadside. 

The light up houses and towns and bring good cheer. Little kids love to watch the lights sparkle and they know that Santa will soon be on his way.

As a result to keep the excitement at bay I try and do lots of Christmas crafts with my kids. I have made lots of card previously.
