Well…….let me give you an update on my first day on my first trip to Ohio Amish Furniture Country. The area that we buy in is in the Holms Township, in thishilly and beautiful township of small towns and farms of 40,000 people 19,000 are Amish, pretty much every other farm and the second largest tourist area. But which ones were the Amish?
As might be expected, Amish Christmas customs are simple, oriented to the family and the religious meaning of the holiday. So, Amish children don’t visit Santa Claus in the store. There is no lavishly decorated Christmas tree in the Shaker Style home. And strings of colorful electric lights do not grace the front of the Amish handcrafted house. But the making of special cookies and candies is certainly a part of the holiday activities.
The Amish celebrate Christmas in many of the same ways that everyone does, only with much more emphasis on making hand made gifts and less emphasis on shopping and decorating.
We work with some of the best Amish and Mennonite furniture craftsmen from the Ohio area to bring you some of the best in handcrafted, solid wood Amish furniture. We personally travel monthly to Amish country in Ohio, to bring our Illinois customers the finest solid oak, solid cherry, solid maple and other solid hardwood furniture handcrafted by the Amish.
