CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS FOR FAMILIES

The days leading up to Christmas are our favorites and filled with so many memories and Christmas traditions. Incorporate one of these 10 Christmas traditions for families this year.

Christmas is just the most magical time of year. There’s nothing better than seeing the holidays through my kids’ eyes. Watching them get excited over the little things and carrying on Christmas traditions from my childhood along with adopting new traditions. My favorites are cozy family nights, warm smells of something delicious baking in the oven, and seeing the lights on the Christmas tree sparkle for the first time of the season.
