<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Christmas tree display area is very important before choosing a tree you must first decide if the tree is meant to be the main attraction of the family room, in which room it will be displayed, do you want it showcased as a corner display or is it a second tree for the guest room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

It is a recommendation to keep at least 12 inches of space between the tree topper and the ceiling to establish the perfect height you will need for your tree.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It is, there- for important to consider and get a tree that has a suitable height, also a tree with strong artificial branches that can hold heavy ornaments. A lot of families do have traditions to create their own ornaments and hang it on their Christmas tree another reason to inspect how strong the artificial branches is before purchasing the tree. If you are buying a<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>Christmas tree online, I would suggest you take time to read the specs to avoid disappointment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: inherit , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Christmas regained fame during 1820 to 1840 stores began to advertise Christmas specials and shopping promotions. Clement Clarke Moore wrote the story/poem <a href="http://christmasseasononline.blogspot.com/2015/11/christmas-poems-for-children.html"><span style="color: blue;">“T’was the night before Christmas” </span></a>in 1822. </span></b><b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 3;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit , serif; font-size: 14pt;">This story quickly became the most popular poem all over the world, and children learned in it that Santa Claus brought presents on Christmas Eve, and they began expecting Santa would bring them also gifts.</span></b><b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 3;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Children especially would look for gifts in their stockings hung up to dry by the fireplace hence where the Christmas stockings originated.</span></b><b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 3;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Today, the tradition of giving and receiving gifts is as much a part of Christmas as the Christmas tree, mistletoe, candy canes, and Christmas songs.</span></b><b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: inherit , serif; font-size: 14pt;">The marketing sections were additionally created by newspapers at the same time just for Christmas season shopping ads. These special promotion sections had Santa Claus at the center of these display.<br />The interest of seeing Santa Claus supplied advertising idea's for retailers they could bring parents and kids to shops through offers to take a look at an 'actual' or 'live' Santa Claus.<br />This marketing strategy to entice kids during Christmas was thus to focus on giving Christmas presents to kids many times in the shape of kids toys.</span></b><b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 3;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br />Today toy giving is still purposeful for kids, but grownups are also popular receivers of gifts as kids, after all, Christmas is about giving to others during the festive season, thus one actual tradition of Christmas are being expressed in this way.<br />
<br />Within families, the focus on kids is clear, an individual mature member will not get more presents than an individual kid does.<br />Presents can take many forms, but during the Christmas season, the joy of giving and preparing attractively wrapped Christmas presents for friends, family, acquaintances and work colleagues.<br />
<br />Young children are especially thrilled and delighted by the holiday and Christmas season, toys are often the present of selection with young children.<br />Adults are the ones yet, for whom there is a broad choice of items available as Christmas presents.</span></b><b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 3;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Many adults will easily do without the enjoyment of receiving gifts by rather giving if it means a little member of the family will likely be completely pleased and delighted with their Christmas gift although grownups also would like to receive presents.<br />Remembering the sparkle of delight in children's eyes when they get a toy or alternative Christmas present surely supports that Christmas is for kids.</span></b><b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 3;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Santa brings presents after all for all the good little boys and girls, not for mothers and fathers or other grownups.</span></b><b><span style="font-family: "" , "courier new" , "" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></b><b><span style="font-family: inherit , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br />It used to be very funny, as parents once related how on Christmas Day when their child opened a Christmas gift and was thrilled, they the parents pretended to be somewhat disappointed that Santa Claus did not bring any Christmas present for them. The child responded it is 'because you were a bad Mom and Dad. You made me eat all my green beans.<br />
<br />Toys are therefore an important part of Christmas. Parents go all out for their children they make the extra effort to give children something special such as what the child wishes, desires or longs for.</span></b><b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: inherit , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Receiving a toy as a gift at Christmas can play an important role in creating a lasting memory. When a child gets the toy, he or she wished for is surprised by a wonderful toy - he or she will remember the feeling it brought for a lifetime and recall it whenever there's talk of which Christmas was a favorite. It also helps to create a tradition as the child becomes an adult and wants to recapture a similar feeling by seeking to do the same for his or her own child.<br />
