Decorating Your Home for the Holidays
1. Write a letter from Santa to each of your children and let them know they’ve been on the top of the “good list.” You can also use this letter to highlight their special achievement this year, so they know how proud Santa is of them.
2. Get a special mug to use throughout December. Make sure it has a Christmas theme like Rudolph, Snowman Frost, Christmas Tree, etc.
3. Get an advent calendar to help you count down to Christmas. Day in and day out, starting December 1st, the windows will be open until December 25th.
4. Search for a decoration for each family member that commemorates an exceptional memory for that year. It could be a decoration of an infant bottle for the birth of a child, a ballet slipper for an initial dance class, and so on.
5. Start a holiday movie marathon of movies that you love to watch during this year. Curl up with some popcorn and the entire family can watch a holiday movie every night of December to get ready for Christmas!
6. Door a holiday book marathon that everyone can talk about and discuss. Try to choose books that have a Christmas theme to them to really get into the mood.
7. At your holiday gathering, be sure to play some Christmas games or just games that you all love and make this a tradition to do every year to ensure a Merry Christmas and Happy Christmas.
8. Leave out cookies and milk for Santa, as well as carrots for the reindeer. This is something that the kids will love!
9. Make homemade eggnog and cookies to have throughout the season. Not only will this be something that the entire family can get in on by helping to make these items, but they will enjoy eating them as well.
10. Invest in a Christmas village and put this up during the season. You will love the excitement of finding a new piece for each year that you set this up!
11. Go caroling! And if you don’t want to go around and wish your neighborhood a Merry Christmas and Happy Christmas with your songs, then sing these at home while you are gathered around your Christmas trees. You will find that this can be super fun if you all get in on the festivity.
So, what new tradition will you start this year to ensure that you only have a Merry Christmas and Happy Christmas?
