Can you believe that Christmas is around the corner?! I can’t!
I’m excited and a little stressed out because I haven’t really planned anything special yet for the kids, however, our little magical friend will be arriving on the first of December so hopefully he will have some ideas for me. 😉
Have you heard about the Magical Elf?
A modern family tradition, “Elf for Christmas” is a magical toy & reward kit perfect for girls & boys aged 2 and over.
Available as a girl or boy Elf, this engaging toy brings fun and magic to your home throughout December.
About Elf for Christmas:
The magical concept/story behind this UK award-winning toy “Elf For Christmas” is that the loveable little elf is sent to a home all the way from the North Pole by Santa himself – with the main purpose of watching over the children and reporting back on good or bad behaviour.
He/she also serves as a direct communication link to The North Pole for kids to send their letters to Santa… Now, as is customary with Christmas – all the magic comes to life while all the children are sleeping – so after the lights have gone out and all is quiet, the little elf “comes alive” and gets up to all kinds of mischief (with a little help from Mom or Dad, of course) – doing a variety of quirky things around the home… from fun and naughty things like eating cookies from Mommy’s cookie jar and leaving crumbs on the counter… to kind and helpful chores like tidying away toys that the kids may have left out (but beware – he/she may report back a messy room to Santa!).
However, where the magic really lies is in the Christmas Reward Kit – a unique package to help you bring the excitement of the Elf to life. The kit includes an arrival letter from Santa, explaining Elf’s role in your home, a reward chart & stickers, Mini Report Cards & Certificates that can be used to promote kindness & good behaviour.
Will you be on the Naughty or Nice List?
Keep the festive spirit alive with Beware of the Elf signs for your door & a Thank You postcard to round off the magic in January. There is also a Letter to Santa Claus template, ready to post your letters off to the big man himself, and a Goodbye letter for when it’s time for Elf to go back to the North Pole.
Throughout December, you will receive unique personalized emails from Santa Claus, directly to your children or class, with information that your Elf has learned about you.
It really is magic. All you need to do is believe it!

We have certain traditions for our little family depending on whether we are spending Christmas with my Husband’s family or ours. All incredibly special to all of us. ❤️ We also have really special traditions that are just for our little family, including both my boys getting new pj’s to wear on Christmas Eve, and a new outfit (or when times are tough-just a tshirt) to wear on Christmas Day. We generally eat fish on Christmas Eve and then have a wonderful spread on Christmas Day with beautiful desserts! Too much eating all around! Kids get to open pressies after midnight on Christmas Day and lots of laughter all around.
In our home the Christmas tree goes up on the 1st of December, it’s such a special day filled with love, laughter and tinsel . We have a special angel on our tree (my late sister’s picture in a bauble). We also build a ginger bread house a week before Christmas and leave letters for Santa under the tree. We also leave Oreo’s and milk on Christmas eve under the tree for santa (my husband usually eats them as soon as our daughter goes to bed) . Christmas morning we sit around the tree and open gifts before church. After church we have a big family lunch. We also give a few gifts to kids in our neighborhood ❤
We have lunch with the entire family. We decorate the Christmas tree with ornaments which has all family members names on it, even members that have passed on so that we stil feel their presence at this time of year.
Our family tradition over the holidays is to get as much family time as we can. With hectic schedules throughout the year we look forward to spending time with everyone bye catching up. We plan all activities together whether it’s a reunion at the park/beach or something new to do in town. Our regulars are Christmas lunch and dinner at mum’s place where we have good food and fun and games and also a celebration for mum’s birthday. Not forgetting taking the kids to see the festive lights followed by ice cream on the beach on a hot summers night and the all famous new year’s eve braai where we all get together for a big bash to welcome in the new year!
This magical elf would be an amazing new tradition to start with my two year old. He is old enough to learn about the magic of Christmas and it would be so exciting for him. And with baby number two on the way it’s even more great that the kit can be used for two kids. I’m totally loving this prize ❤
We have very simple family traditions, but mostly spending lots of time together bonding, cooking the turkey the night before and relaxing the main day, boxing day is balloon and bubble filled to add sillyness and fun for everyone! Liked n sharing, following on fb n twitter. Would love a boy elf plz…
Family braai, followed by dessert and board games.

All the family get together to exchange gifts and have a big Xmas lunch.
A Christmas Eve box filled with PJs , a personalised stocking a Christmas book and yummy treats
After 5 years,this is going to be my little girls, husband and my first Xmas on our own,in our new home.Besides the Christmas decorations, I would start off the morning by getting my daughter to unwrap all her gifts,for each gift,I would allocate a note to tell her why Santa believes she deserves it.Making memories are important so a lot of treasured photos will be taken,lunch will then be prepared for all my dear family and friends, I want to create a Xmas wish box for my daughter, each family member can write down a note for her, since my grandmother is very ill at this point, she can some day look back on this if any of our loved ones are no longer.I am a not a Christian,but I have family who are of that religion, I would want my daughter to be tolerant of all religions and know the reason for xmas,so after lunch it would be nice if a Christian family member would tell her a story abt Jesus.I read on another post how a mum has a party to celebrate the birth of Jesus,i may not be able to that but every little kid loves singing the happy birthday song, so why not sing for Jesus. We would probably end the day visiting loved ones who could not make it to our lunch,but also saying a prayer for loved ones who are no longer with us
We all get together on Christmas Eve to celebrate with a Christmas dinner where all the adults bring a cooked meal to contribute (the kids bring Christmas crackers). We always have an amazing time together and try and get together on Christmas day as well (to eat all the leftovers lol).

Copper scrap licensing Copper has been used by humans for thousands of years. Its use can be traced back to the late 4th millennium BCE in the Middle East. Copper was first used by ancient societies as a substitute for stone or bone tools. Its availability, ease of use, and malleability made it a desirable material for crafting various objects. The Bronze Age, which lasted from around 3200 BCE to 600 BCE, saw an increase in the use of copper. It was used in the production of bronze, a mixture of copper and tin, which was stronger and more durable than copper alone. This led to a significant increase in trade and commerce, as bronze was used for tools, weapons, and even currency. Copper mining and production evolved over time, with new techniques and technologies being developed. The invention of the blast furnace in the 13th century allowed for the production of large quantities of copper, which was essential for the development of the Renaissance and Industrial Revolution. Copper played a vital role in the development of many societies, including the ancient Greeks and Romans. The Romans especially made significant advancements in the production and use of copper, with copper mining operations established throughout their empire. Today, copper continues to be an essential material, used in everything from electrical wiring to plumbing and construction. Its malleability, conductivity, and corrosion resistance make it a versatile material for a wide range of applications Scrap metal quality standards Scrap copper safety standards Copper scrap melting technologies Copper scrap management Copper scrap transport Metal recovery depot

Scrap Copper market Copper has been a much sought-after metal for a very long time due to its unique characteristics that make it useful in many industries. Its excellent conductivity, high malleability, and resistance to corrosion make it essential in the production of electrical wires, circuit boards, plumbing, and many other products. The demand for copper has been on an upward trend for several decades, supported by the rapid development of emerging economies across the globe and the increasing prevalence of renewable energy sources. According to recent statistics, global copper consumption has reached an all-time high of about 22 million tonnes annually, and the trend is set to continue. China remains the largest consumer of copper, followed by the United States, India, Japan, and South Korea. The growth of the Chinese economy has significantly impacted copper consumption, with China accounting for about 50% of the world’s copper usage. The country’s infrastructure development, booming housing market, and the growth of the electrical and electronics industry continue to drive its demand for copper. The automotive industry is another significant contributor to copper consumption. As electric vehicles become more popular, the demand for copper is likely to go up, as it is crucial to the battery technology used in such vehicles. In addition, the switch to renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, which require copper in their systems, has also contributed to increased demand for the metal. Despite the high demand, copper is a finite resource, and its extraction takes a toll on the environment. As such, there are ongoing efforts to promote recycling and responsible mining practices to minimize the impact on the environment. It is also worth noting that rising prices of copper, as well as geopolitical factors and supply chain disruptions, can hinder the industry’s growth. In conclusion, copper plays a crucial role in many industries and is a vital resource for economies worldwide. Its consumption is on the rise, driven by factors such as infrastructure development, the growth of emerging economies, and the increasing prevalence of renewable energy sources. However, responsible mining practices and recycling initiatives are necessary to ensure the sustainability of the copper industry Urban metal scavenging Copper scrap compliance Copper scrap material analysis Scrap Copper recycling machines Copper scrap recovery methods Scrap metal purity standards
