More Holiday Cheer!
Tinsel's Favorite Things
Tinsel is one of Santa's new informant elves, who are sent on special missions for Santa to various places around the world. For her first task, Santa asks Tinsel to choose a city from a list he has created and she chooses Rexburg, Idaho! He wants her help to find "a new Christmas trend!"
Her Favorite Things Include:
Retro holiday tunes,
Bright colorful holiday lights,
Snowflakes on her nose,
Bells that jingle jangle,
Reindeer games,
and Playing the Drums!
Tinsel was created by the 2023 fall semester Professional Projects class team at BYU-Idaho. The team designed the overall aesthetic of the guide Tinsel and a number of her friends. We're grateful to "Team Tinsel Force" for their help in guiding the look of our holiday season!
Holiday Activities from Home
We know the holidays can be a stressful time of year for many. Within our holiday guide is a series of activities you can do from home to still feel a bit of warmth and joy this holiday season. Learn to knit a scarf from Mrs. Claus, or make cocoa like the elves do...just the way Santa likes it. There are also coloring pages and more.
If you enjoy any of these activities or any other traditions and activities at home with your family, we would love to be included! Please tag #HolidaysInRexburg (#holidaysinrexburg) on social media so we can see your fantastical celebrations!
Shop Local for the Holidays! (throughout November & December)
When you shop locally, you keep your hard-earned dollars within our community and help support our local economy. When you shop locally, you're helping small business owners and their employees provide for their families. “Giving A Gift From A Small Business Is Giving A Gift Twice.”
Rexburg is home to a plethora of great small business shops and we're so excited for all the new additions we've seen and those that continue to head our way.
Did you know that Rexburg is one of the top cities in the country for local Etsy shops? When you're shopping on Etsy for the holidays, try adding "Rexburg" to the location filter on your search and see what you can find from a local crafter!
For a complete list of holiday events and attractions in and around Rexburg throughout the season, check out our calendar and holiday guide!
