The Christmas season is upon us and it’s the most wonderful time of year to start new traditions with your family. Choose something that will bring life to your family and announce it in a BIG way!! Start by sharing what a tradition is and telling your family you want to do this new activity for many years to come!
To help you get started with the best tradition for your crew, we’ve created a list of ideas.
Go find the best displays of Christmas lights!
Hot tip: sometimes Google maps will have an additional “layer” for your city that highlights the best spots to see lights. Search for the neighborhood near your home and take a walk or a car ride to pick out your family’s favorite lights.
Read a holiday book with your kids each night!
Hot tip: There are so many great lists of Christmas books online. Here are a few of our favorite lists:

Do a random act of kindness as a family!
Drop an envelope of cash on the porch of a family you know is in need. Bake cookies for elderly neighbors. Volunteer in your town. Teach your kids by example what it means to love and serve others.
Pray for the families in your Christmas cards!
Choose one Christmas card a night and pray over that specific family so you can be intentional about your prayers. Place the card back into the basket and choose a new card the next night.
