Create the Holidays 2021
In 2020 I changed the original name of Create Christmas to Create the Holidays to be more inclusive of other winter holidays celebrated around this time of year.
As someone who celebrates Christmas, there will be a lot of Christmas content as there always has been – and there is plenty from Christmases past too!
But I also want to be able to include recipes, crafts, printables, and other ideas for Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice, New Years’, and all the other things celebrated during the winter months.
I have always started this series on 1st December, but it is more realistic to start it on 1st November because we all seem to run out of time the closer it gets to the holidays!
