Christmas themes provide you with a cornucopia of decoration and activity ideas, whether you are planning decorating your home, teaching Christmas-themed lesson plans to a class or selecting Christmas cards. You can choose faith-based designs, children's themes such as Santa Claus, elves and reindeer, or winter scenes.

Themed Christmas Lesson Plans
Teachers can plan lessons for students with a Christmas theme in the weeks leading up to the holiday. These lessons can include activities such as making Christmas tree decorations. Read stories to the class like "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein and have them write about gifts they would like to give to each other. Teach a history lesson on Christmas in colonial or Victorian times. Sing Christmas carols together and play Christmas music throughout the month. Teach students about how Christmas is celebrated in different parts of the world.

Christmas Home Decor Themes
Decorate your home with a specific Christmas theme. For example, you can use traditional Christmas color combinations, such as red and green or red and white, throughout your home. Another option is to use a flower theme. Place arrangements of poinsettias, holly or mistletoe in various rooms. A Christmas angel theme can include both indoor and outdoor decorations; arrange angel figurines inside the home, hang angel light decorations outside and decorate the Christmas tree with small angels.

Themed Christmas Cards
Send out themed Christmas cards to friends and family members. Create your own or purchase cards in a particular Christmas theme, such as Christmas trees or outdoor scenes. Other themes to consider include snowflake patterns, candy canes, decorative tree ornaments, wreaths and Nativity scenes. Children enjoy themes featuring Santa Claus, reindeer and snowmen. Alternatively, choose cards designed around inspirational words such as joy, faith and peace.
