@Authors,

What absolutely belongs with Christmas and Advent decorations?

All children are delighted by a surprise in the Advent calendar:

The little fir forest is both decoration and Advent calendar: Under each of the little fir trees  there is a small surprise hidden. That way, the wait until Christmas Eve doesn’t feel so long.


Cute finger puppets are perfect as fillers for the Advent calendar or as Secret Santa gifts:
Snowman, Santa Claus and moose
are quickly crocheted from a few bits of leftover yarn.


What would Christmas be without a nativity scene?
Nativity figures don’t have to be expensive, because you can crochet them yourself from leftover yarn. The figures shown here are about 10 cm tall.
 Holy Family, ox, donkey, poinsettia

 Shepherds, sheep, Christmas angel

Three Wise Men with animals


... and angels are, of course, also impossible to imagine Christmas without:

 Heavenly Orchestra
The little angels are about 8 cm tall and are also suitable as Christmas tree ornaments, gift tags, or little guardian angels.
Or would you prefer something bigger?
 Guardian Angel Night Light
The illuminated angel is about 20 cm tall. The light is controlled by remote control.

And for many people, Santa Claus comes at Christmas:
Santa Claus with sleigh and reindeer
Sleigh, reindeer, Santa Claus and sack are not permanently attached to each other, so they can be decorated differently again and again. This decoration is also suitable as an Advent calendar if you fill the sack with a different surprise every day.

Um... or was it the Easter Bunny?

No! It is Santa Claus after all!
An original decoration is the reversible doll "Nikolausi-Osterhasi", which you can set up as Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny depending on the season.

A loyal helper of Santa Claus is Rudy with the red nose:
Moose keychain 
or

Mini door wreath with moose

or
Reindeer coin purse

and the gnomes help Santa Claus too:

Star gnome

And how do we wrap the gifts?

These crocheted gift bags are sustainable gift wrapping that you can use again every year, and you can crochet them in any size. Especially oddly shaped gifts can be wrapped easily and decoratively this way.

What wonderful Christmas-themed models, dear Ruth! They really put you in the Christmas spirit right away.

I'm happy to add my items to the Christmas mood. Maybe you'd like to make one or two of them yourselves. You still have plenty of time now, so your home can have a beautifully handmade Christmas feel.

Feel free to take a look at my ideas. I hope you have lots of fun making them. You'll find more pictures, information, and the pattern itself by clicking on the headings.

Warm regards from Ina
