The 12 Months of Christmas (PDF patterns - mystery SAL)

The 12 Months of Christmas

As I delved once more into A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, a single line seemed to whisper directly to my soul:  “I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.” 

These words stirred something profound within me, a reminder of the light and warmth that the Christmas season kindles: a light I wish to carry with me far beyond December. For me, the period from late November to Epiphany is a time unlike any other: a sacred space of joy, creativity, and endless inspiration. It is during these fleeting weeks that my heart is most alive, my spirit most attuned to the magic that surrounds us. 

Epiphany, the day when Christmas celebrations traditionally conclude in Italy, feels less like an ending and more like a threshold. It is the perfect moment to reflect on the beauty of the season and to make a vow to carry its essence forward. From this reflection, The 12 Months of Christmas was born. 

(Unlike usual, all 12 patterns have already been drawn, so there will be no delays, and you’ll be able to download them right on time!)

This project is more than a collection of PDF cross-stitch patterns; it is an invitation to embrace the spirit of Christmas as a guiding light throughout the entire year. Each month, if you choose to join, you will receive a unique and original Christmas design: some large, some small, some unveiled in stages. Each pattern is a step on a spiritual journey, a gentle reminder to nurture the joy, generosity, and wonder that make Christmas so extraordinary. 

As the months unfold, you will weave a tapestry of hope and celebration, preparing your heart and home for the next December. You'll receive the list of links to download, month after month, your monthly ornament. By December, you will be surrounded by the fruits of your creativity—completed projects that radiate the love and magic of the season. 

Let us walk this path together, honouring Christmas not as a single day, but as a sacred rhythm that infuses our lives with meaning. Let us cultivate its light, nourishing it so that it grows stronger with each passing month. 

Welcome to The 12 Months of Christmas. A journey to keep the magic alive, always.
