Establishing a family tradition can be a family decision or an individual s desire to start the activity and continue each year. The idea doesn t have to be discussed, just acted upon each holiday season. Before long, your family will come to expect it, and tradition is set. The holiday season brings family together in a different way than other family get-togethers. The holidays place a magical veil of expectations on the season.
Traditional activities can help lessen after holiday blues .
Family Size - Large families may need to divide into age categories for certain activities to lower cost and encourage participation. This tradition can be started when your children are toddlers or at any age. Each day place a trinket or goody in the stockings. This is usually a Mom tradition but anyone and everyone can get involved if they wish. You can collect a box of goodies throughout the year whenever you see something you think a family member would like.
