5 Holiday Traditions to Start This Year

The holidays are a time for family, friends, and tradition. If you're looking for some new traditions to start this year, look no further. Here are 5 holiday traditions that your family will love.

1. Baking cookies together. This is a great tradition to start with young children. let them help measure the ingredients, mix the dough, and of course, eat the raw dough! You can make it even more fun by making a different kind of cookie each day leading up to Christmas. By the time Christmas rolls around, you'll have a whole platter of delicious homemade cookies to enjoy.

2. Going on a holiday lights scavenger hunt. This is a fun tradition that the whole family can enjoy. Get in the car, turn on some festive music, and see how many houses you can find with Santa Claus, reindeer, elves, or any other holiday-themed decorations. You can even keep track of your findings on a map so you can see how your holiday light viewing changes from year to year.

3. Volunteering together. The holidays are a great time to give back to those less fortunate. Find a local soup kitchen or food bank and spend an afternoon volunteering together as a family. It's a great way to teach children the importance of giving back and spreading holiday cheer.

4. Having a movie marathon. Pick out some of your favorite holiday movies and spend an afternoon or evening curled up on the couch watching them together as a family. Don't forget the popcorn!

5 .Making homemade gifts. If you're looking for a unique way to show your loved ones how much you care this holiday season, try making them something special instead of buying it from the store. It doesn't have to be anything fancy - even something as simple as baked goods or a hand-crafted card will do. What matters is that it came from the heart. 

The holidays are a wonderful time of year to start new traditions with your family and friends. These traditions will help create lasting memories that you'll cherish for years to come. What are you waiting for? Get started today!
