While there are many old traditions that are associated with Christmas like singing carols and sipping hot cocoa, there are many other traditions out there that you might want to try with your loved ones. Here are some ideas that will help you spice up your holiday celebration.
Instead of getting all dressed up for Christmas, why not make it a comfy day where everyone shows up in their pajamas? You might even decide for everyone to wear Christmas-themed pajamas that will really get everyone in the Christmas spirit.
Do you just love Christmas lights? Get in a car with your family members or friends and drive around the area to find the best-decorated homes. You can even take hot cocoa with you as you admire all of these beautiful homes.
If you love to bake, then Christmas is a great time of year to bake to your heart’s content. You can have a cookie swap between friends or family members and you can even vote for the best cookie. Cookie decorating is fun as well. From using frosting and chocolate to sprinkles and candy, there are many fun ways to decorate Christmas cookies.
The Christmas season is also about giving. Teach your kids about the gift of giving by making it an annual Christmas tradition to buy new toys for needy children. Your kids will learn how to share what they have with the less fortunate.
Don’t forget about the magic that Christmas brings. Show your kids the magic of Christmas by planting red candies with them out in the yard on Christmas Eve. On Christmas morning, plant candy canes and your kids will think that those candies have grown into candy canes.
You can also help your kids prepare for Santa Claus in various ways. Help the kids mix glitter and oatmeal to make reindeer dust. The kids can sprinkle the reindeer dust outside of the house and leave carrots for reindeer to snack on. You can also bake cookies and leave the cookies and a glass of milk out for Santa Claus by your Christmas tree.
