Fun Christmas Websites

I love everything about the holidays - hot chocolate, making snowmen, Santa Claus, spending time with family and friends… what's not to love?

So, over the years, I've found a few resources that I go back to again and again to kick up the Christmas spirit a notch. If you love Christmas, too, check 'em out!

1. Portable North Pole - this fantastic, free service allows you to make a custom video for your child FROM SANTA!!! What could be better than seeing the look of wonder and amazement on their faces when they get a personalized message from the big elf himself?

2. Elf Name Generator - no Christmas would be complete without knowing what your elf name is, right? It's a silly, fun way to usher in this festive time of year.

3. Visiting NorthPole.com, where there are lots of things to do, including fun seasonal games and great blog posts

4. Scouring the web for the best free Christmas printables, like these:

•  Spoonful.com 
• Amy Locurto's blog 

If you have any favorite online holiday resources, please share them with us - Happy Holidays!

Holiday Kickoff

The holidays are here! 

American Thanksgiving and Hanukkah signalled the official start of the holiday season, followed quickly by Black Friday and Cyber Monday. My, how the time is flying by!! If the December dash hasn't begun at your house yet, it's coming.

We here at Oliver’s Labels are busy preparing for our best holiday season yet, and are thrilled to offer limited-edition HolidayWall Art decals, as well as lots of fun tips, giveaways and festive fun on our social media pages (links are below)! 

But, before we get into all the fun of the season, we want to take a moment to reflect on those who aren’t as fortunate as we are. If you are involved in an act of kindness in your neighborhood or community, let us know about it! Whether you’re volunteering at a homeless shelter or hospital; donating funds or resources to causes in other countries; or contributing to your local food bank, we would love to hear about the many acts of kindness being done this holiday season. 

Let's inspire each other and make a difference in the lives of those around us.

Let the merry-making, cooking, gift buying, baking, decorating and hot-cocoa-drinking begin!
