What do you remember most about the holidays when you were a kid? Good or bad, funny or old-fashioned, there’s likely some element that played out year after year.
But even if your parents always cooked an elaborate holiday meal or dragged you on a Griswold-esque quest for the perfect Christmas tree, chances are it’s the simpler things that hold a special place in your memories.
And it’s these small joys and humble traditions that we want to create for our kids. As the pace of life seems to increase, especially during the holiday season, we want more than ever to carve out time for them.
Whether it’s singing favorite holiday songs, baking special foods, driving around to see lights, reading a beloved book or your own unique way of decorating, exchanging gifts or giving back, what matters is that the tradition is meaningful to your family.
Because maybe more than the actual activity, what your kids will cherish most is the time spent together in a season where even the simplest things can hold a bit of magic.
