Family Traditions To Try This Holiday Season

How Do I Spark Holiday Cheer This Holiday Season?

Baby It’s cold outside and this year we are going to stay warm with family and traditions. Whether you already have your own traditions or you have none it all. Try something new, begin a new tradition or start one with your loved ones. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years you can incorporate a family tradition to any of these holidays.

For Thanksgiving a great family tradition to try this year is having a big family potluck. Come together bring countless food entrees, desserts, and appetizers to share with your loved ones or spend some quality family time and have your family cook together, or create a family recipe. If your family is into Black Friday, eat up and go shopping. The options are endless.

When Christmas is around the corner your family can go pick out a tree and decorate it together. It’s the perfect time to get into the Christmas spirit! Also, when you set up your tree you can dedicate the day to decorate for Christmas… set up your stockings, put up the Christmas lights, and get the decorations up. As Christmas gets closer, you can make sugar cookies and pass them out to loved ones or friends. Finally, when Christmas arrives at last, create a tradition of opening presents on Christmas eve at midnight or maybe just one if that is what you choose. Secret Santas, stockings, and movie nights can all be a part of your Christmas tradition.

New Year’s marks a new beginning. Personally, my family always gets together for a big feast and a night of fun. My family likes to play music and dance, sit around and watch movies, and play darts. When the clock finally strikes 12:00, we all toast the new year. Another way to spend your New Year’s Eve is to go out with friends and reminisce over the year. Dress up, go out, and enjoy the night with your loved ones.

Lastly traditions are what you make of them. They represent your family heritage and it is a way to connect with your loved ones. Traditions spark an excitement and anticipation for the holidays. It’s never too late to begin a tradition. Try something new this holiday season.

Let's be friends
