Establishing a few Christmas traditions that your family does every year can help your holiday feel extra special. Kids love knowing what to look forward to, and keeping your traditions going year after year will leave everyone with great holiday memories. Here are three holiday traditions to consider starting with your family this year.
Buy a New Ornament
If you choose a new ornament for your kids each year, they’ll have a great collection to take with them when they’re grown up and have Christmas trees of their own. A great artificial tree makes setting everything up quick and easy, so check out Balsam Hill reviews to find one you love. Choose an ornament that is a reflection of some special aspect of the previous year, and you’ll bring up memories every year when you put that ornament on the tree.
Listen to a Holiday Story
Get the whole family together to decorate your Christmas tree, and put on a holiday-themed audiobook while you work together. If after reading all of the Balsam Hill professional reviews you decided to get a tree that is not pre-lit, listening to A Christmas Carol or The Best Christmas Pageant Ever while wrapping strings of lights around the tree will make the whole process more fun.
Hide the Christmas Pickle
A fun tradition of German origin is to hide a pickle ornament on the tree. Parents hide the pickle ornament once the kids have gone to bed on Christmas Eve, and the first child to find the pickle on Christmas morning gets a reward. This could be a special sweet treat or the privilege of opening the first present. You can pick a fun prize that will be special for your family to enjoy.
Choosing a few Christmas traditions for your family to adopt can bring extra joy to your holiday season. You and your kids will have happy memories of your traditional activities for years to come.
