The coziest month of the year for us is undoubtedly December. It is a full month with several holidays. We start with St. Nicholas and end with New Year's Eve, but in between we have, of course, not forgetting Christmas!
The coziest month of the year for us is undoubtedly December. It is a full month with several holidays. We start with St. Nicholas and end with New Year's Eve, but in between we have of course not to forget Christmas! During Christmas it's all about coziness, presents, festive decorations and being together with loved ones. But what exactly is Christmas and what traditions belong to it?
To begin with, it is always great fun to decorate your home with Christmas decorationsa few weeks beforehand. This will make your home nice and cozy, and this is of course what we want during the cold December days. Here you can think of cute honeycombs in different figures, for example the Partywinkel has a Santa Claus, a snowman, elves, Christmas bells and Christmas balls. Of course, the table should also look festive, for this we have plates, cups, napkins, table confetti and tablecloths. Do your windows and walls still look bare? Here too we have a solution: window stickers and wall decorations. We have them in different sizes and figures. Do you have a garden or balcony and want to decorate it? For this the Partywinkel has, for example, a large inflatable Santa Claus with lights of 2.4 meters.
In addition to all the decorations in the house, a real Christmas tree belongs, of course. A Christmas tree is a coniferous tree that is brought into the house and decorated with lights, Christmas balls, garlands and a nice big spike. Nowadays, Christmas trees are not only put up at home, but you see them more and more in the square, in shopping malls, at the market or at the office. However, these are usually Christmas trees that are taller than 6 meters. The Christmas trees people put up at home are usually around 1.60.
In addition, under the Christmas tree we like to put presents for our loved ones! Usually from the moment the Christmas tree is brought into the house and decorated, presents are immediately placed under the Christmas tree as well. We wrap these beautifully and write the name of who it is for. December 25 is the 1th Christmas Day, during this day you usually open the presents together after dinner. Some people unwrap the presents a day before, namely on Christmas Eve. Not everyone celebrates Christmas Eve, which is why some do it only on 1th Christmas Day. Would you rather put your presents in a Christmas bag? Then you've come to the right place at Partywinkel ! We have Christmas bags for you in different shapes and sizes.
When you think of Christmas, most people think of good food and fine dining. The table is then completely filled with all kinds of delicious dishes. But there are also many people who go gourmet during Christmas. You then have several bowls on the table with meat, vegetables, fish and sauces. Something for everyone to choose from and enjoy. Even people who are on a diet often stop by around these days to miss out on all the goodies.
Many of us think Santa Claus was invented by Coca-cola and used as an advertising stunt, but this is just not so. The English word Santa Claus is derived from our Dutch Sinterklaas. Previously, Santa Claus walked in different colored suits, namely yellow, green or red. We can get this from ancient illustrations, here you can also see that his appearance kept changing. But in 1931 Coca-Cola Haddon Sundblom did commission an advertising artist to redraw Santa Claus and give him a new shape. Lou Prentice, a close friend of Haddon's was the model for Santa Claus. Haddon drew a cozy Santa Claus with a red and white suit and white beard. After all the Coca-Cola commercials, Santa Claus became known worldwide and took on a new look. So the bottom line is that Coca-cola did not invent Santa Claus itself, but rather reinvented him.
Want to play Santa Claus yourself this year? Then Partywinkel has the cutest Santa suitsfor that! Also for women there is enough choice of the cutest Santa Claus dresses.
During Christmas you have to look nice, of course! Therefore, Partywinkel has clothes for you all in the Christmas style. For example, for men we have Christmas suits with lights in them and for women Christmas dresses. We also have the craziest Christmas shirts for both men, and women.
To nice Christmas clothes belong, of course, Christmas accessories to complete your outfit. So Partywinkel also has a large selection of hair bands, glasses, Christmas hats, shoes, mustaches and beards, ties, bows, tights and suspenders for you.
We all know the movie ''Home alone''. Every year all editions of these movies are broadcast on television during Christmas. Therefore, it has really become a tradition to watch this series of movies at least once with the whole family. Furthermore, there are of course many other famous Christmas movies that are watched with the entire family.
Think for example:
Besides watching the cutest Christmas movies, we also listen a lot to Christmas music during the December month. During this month you cannot avoid it and you hear it everywhere, on the radio, in stores, at work and in restaurants. Christmas music gives a cozy atmosphere and many people like to listen to it to get into the Christmas spirit. These are some Christmas songs that I'm sure you know:
