Holiday Tradition

Well it is holiday time. A time of year that I always enjoy tremendously. I love all the decorations, baking, gift giving, and time with family and friends. One couple I recently met was having a problem with the fact that they each celebrated different holiday traditions. The oldest child is now old enough to understand the holidays and they didn’t know whose traditions they should make a tradition in their family. I was wondering why they had to choose. I figure why not incorporate both? There are a few ways to do it. You could do each event/tradition at different times of the holiday month. Another option is to combine both traditions at the same time, picking the favorites from each. And lastly, you could alternate years, do one tradition each year and switch to the other the next. Either way the child and family will benefit from getting to experience wonderful traditions and creating family memories that will last a lifetime. Until next month...get out of the past, look toward the future, but live in the NOW.
