Center the countdown to Christmas in your kitchen with an Advent calendar or Advent wreath from Bronner’s. Whether you count down to Christmas by opening a numbered window each day or burning a colored candle each week, you’ll find the perfect calendar or wreath to complement your own family traditions. The origin of the Advent calendar can be traced back to the 19th century. Religious families made a chalk line for every day in December until Christmas Eve. The families also tacked little pictures, one for each day in December, on the wall. Try displaying a tree in every room this Christmas season and see the delight it brings to family and guests alike. No room for a tree in the bathroom? Bronner’s offers trees in a broad range of sizes and styles - 12 inches to 16 feet in height and including wall trees, half trees, and decorative table top trees. The tradition of the Christmas tree is believed to have originated in medieval Germany. On December 24th, the townspeople would decorate a “Paradise Tree” which would be used in a popular play relating to Adam and Eve. The “Paradise Tree” was usually an evergreen, which is a symbol of eternal life. In 1605, German families began to decorate their houses with evergreens for Christmas celebrations. Eventually, the custom was carried over to America where it was immediately embraced as a wonderful Christmas tradition. Christmas decorations cannot be complete without wreaths and garlands about the house – both inside and out! Create the perfect wreaths and garlands to match your décor with light and ornament accents from Bronner’s. Wondering just how many feet of garland or lights you need to decorate that tree, mantle, window, or doorway? Visit Bronner's "Fun Facts and Decorating Tips" page for the answer. Remember the reason for the season with Nativity scenes throughout your home. Bronner’s selection includes a large variety of Fontanini Nativities, life-size Nativities for indoor or outdoor displays, and Nativity ornaments for your tree. In the early twelfth century, the word crèche was used to describe the birthplace of Christ. The term was coined after Saint Francis of Assisi celebrated Midnight Mass in a stable where men and animals reenacted the Christmas story. The crèche, derived from the German word krippe or crib, refers to the animals’ manger in which Christ was born. It later became known as the place of the Nativity, or the Nativity. The Nativity scene joins together Mary, Joseph, the baby Jesus, shepherds, angels, and on Epiphany the Wise Men. Bronner's CHRISTmas Wonderland is pleased to present several beautiful Nativity scenes in the hope that families around the world will always be reminded of the miracle that took place in a lowly stable. Add a touch of Christmas décor to your residence this year. Decorate your front yard, back yard, dog house, cat house, etc. with Bronner’s selection of outdoor Christmas decorations. Choose from Airblown Inflatables, lighted plastic items, lighted ornamentals, and more. |
