Fun Family Christmas Traditions
Christmas is a time for celebrating with friends and family so it only makes sense to create a few traditions. Don’t feel like you have to stick to the same traditions you’ve always had. You can always add in one or two more.
So, what kinds of Christmas traditions do you already enjoy with your family? We’ve had many over the years depending on how old the kids were.
It’s likely that your traditions will change as your family structure changes. Of course, Christmas is always the best time of year when you’re a kid.
Make a gingerbread house
You can buy a gingerbread kit and create it that way. Or you can just start with a box of graham crackers, a can of frosting, and candy to decorate the house with.
Go Christmas caroling
We always loved to go Christmas caroling with our church group. Everyone bundles up in their warmest winter jackets, gloves and hats and went around the neighborhood singing Christmas songs. Afterward, we got back together for hot chocolate and cookies.
Go on a sleigh ride
Depending on where you live, you may want to take everyone for a sleigh ride. When my parents visited the city, it wasn’t unusual to see horses drawing sleighs up and down the street.
Family Christmas photos
It’s so much fun to watch how the kids change each year. Taking family photos at Christmas is a great way to share that with friends and family. Of course, you’ll want to get new Christmas outfits for everyone before you get the photos taken.
Look for colorful, head-to-toe clothing and accessory collections quality clothes that let kids be kids. Dress your family for the moments that matter most – with everything from quality playwear that stands the test of playtime to coordinated dressy looks for the perfect family photo.
