There’s no question that the holidays are the most joyful time of the year. And there really is something to be said about carrying on family traditions from on holiday season to the next. But everyone can use a little change every now and then, so don’t be afraid to make a little tweak in your holiday plans this year! Here are 3 ways to make this holiday season one you won’t forget.
Schedule a trip
If you’re used to spending the holidays at home, planning a fun trip for the holidays will be sure to make this season you will never forget. Always wanted to have a tropical Christmas? Or maybe one abroad? This year is just as good as any other to make those dreams come true. So pack your bags and learn what it’s like to celebrate the holidays in a different culture.
Start a new family tradition
Keeping the family traditions alive is so important to maintaining the family identity, values, and culture across generations. But who says there’s any harm in making new ones? Gather your family together this season for a new family tradition. Maybe instead of opening Christmas presents on Christmas morning, you head down to the local soup kitchen to serve Christmas breakfast for those who are less fortunate than you. Or perhaps you host your first annual holiday party that raises awareness for a cause your family cares about. Whatever it is, make sure your new tradition brings the family together and brings joy into other’s lives.
Try simplifying your plans instead
Instead of breaking your back trying to make it to every single holiday party you always do, take a break. There’s no reason to attend the work party, the neighborhood party, and the holiday high school reunion party all in the same weekend. Even if it’s what you do every year, make this holiday season a bit more relaxing and family-focused. Only go to the events that mean something to you because that’s really what the holiday season is all about.
The holidays are the time of year to spend time with your family making memories and carrying on the traditions you’ve always had. But this year, try these 3 ways to make this holiday season one you will never forget!
