“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.” ― Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol”
The tree and twinkling lights may be down, sparkly ornaments carefully tucked away into boxes, halls “undecked” and iconic carols vanished into the air until next December, but the heartfelt, happy memories of Christmastime can last forever — especially in a stunning Christmas scrapbook layout! Remember the good tidings of comfort and joy with friends and family for years to come with this seasonal sensation.
Every year, thousands and thousands of children write letters to Santa Claus in the hopes of winning the jolly North Pole resident over by convincing him they are worthy of certain requested gifts to be under tree on Christmas morning. To capture the merriment of this childhood rite of passage, blog contributor Sachiyo Omitsu delivered an idea that is a perfect make-your-spirits-bright package! Put your stamp of approval on this Christmas scrapbook layout!
The Christmas tree — a staple in many homes for families to hang ornaments, tinsel and lights from the festive firs, but did you know…
The first decorated Christmas was in Riga, Latvia, in 1510.
The first printed reference to Christmas trees appeared in Germany in 1531.
Using small candles to light a Christmas tree dates back to mid-17th century.
Every year since 1947, a tree has been given from Nordmarka, outside of Oslo, to Trafalgar Square in England. The gift is an expression of good will and gratitude for Great Britain’s help to Norway during World War II.
No matter the symbolism, a Christmas tree is a big part in many homes! And it can be part of your home (or album!) with this Christmas scrapbook layout!
Mats draw attention, frame memories add layered dimension to your photos and storytelling. And when you throw merry-and-bright makings into the mix, you’re in for a presence that is a scrapbooking present for your albums! See how mats add layers of comfort and joy to this Christmas scrapbook layout — and make it today so you’re prepped and ready to print photos by the time jolly ol’ St. Nick comes to town.

Sweet, spicy, full of Christmas spirit and style… gingerbread houses! Did you know an early form of gingerbread can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Egyptians who used it for ceremonial purposes? And another fun tidbit: The popularity of gingerbread houses rose in the 1800s when the Brothers Grimm wrote the (well, not-so-Christmassy) fairytale of Hansel and Gretel, as the two children stumble upon a house made entirely of sweets. Well, no matter the history, these cookie-walled structures are a creative and tasty way to celebrate the Christmas season for kids and adults alike by decorating them with frostings and icings, gumdrops, festive sprinkles, peppermints, chocolates other candied elements. And whether you’re building the house from scratch or using a kit, blog contributorKylie Kingham has a Christmas scrapbook layout with a cute gingerbread house craft to pay homage to the sweetly spiced tradition!
