It’s time…
to find the bell!
The Bell in the Box tradition started many years ago when our children were little. On Christmas Eve, I would hide the special bell. The kids would be filled with such joy and anticipation for Christmas morning. They would awake (too early, of course) and race through the house trying to be the first to find the bell. The competition was fierce! The first to find the bell would run through the house, ringing the bell, announcing that Santa had come!
I am a lover of all things Christmas and family traditions. My favorite time of year has always been Christmas. Anyone who knows me knows Christmas is my thing. As my husband and I grew our family with children, I always knew I wanted to have lots of traditions that our children could cherish and pass on to their own children one day. This is where The Bell in the Box was born.
This book was written with the hopes of your family enjoying this tradition and making many memories that bring you joy for years to come. Bringing this tradition to life for others to enjoy has brought me so much joy. This is so special and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did bringing it to life.
We will continue this tradition always. It is something that will never grow old. We already have the next generation getting in on the tradition.
I truly hope that you bring this tradition into your family and it brings your family years of joy and laughter as it has our family throughout the years. We can all use a little more joy. I will be waiting to hear all of your stories!
