Important Christmas Traditions Everyone Should Know Going Into the Holiday Season

We all love a good holiday tradition, especially when they involve the ones we love.

If you’re anything like me, you love spending time with your family and really enjoy every moment you get to spend with them. I’ve come up with some holiday traditions for around the home that you can do with your little ones. They’ll love it, cherish the memories forever and maybe one day pass these traditions on to their children.

•  Read holiday books before bed each night. The Polar Express, Santa Mouse, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas are all excellent tales to boost your family’s holiday spirit.
• Go to a tree farm to locate the perfect Christmas tree. At home, decorate it as a family or let the kids do their thing. Have some treats and hot cider or cocoa on hand to keep energy levels up!
• Use an advent calendar to count down to Christmas. There are many varieties of advent calendars, from candles that are burned daily to boxes you open daily.
• Set aside one night each week to watch a holiday movie or television special, such “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” or “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”
• Purchase or make a holiday ornament for each child every year. This is a great reason to reminisce during holiday decorating.
• Sit down with your child and write a letter to Santa.

There are many more holiday traditions that you and your family can do together. What are some of your favorite holiday traditions?
