Holiday Traditions
Creating magical moments throughout the year
There's something sacred about holiday traditions—those beautiful rituals that anchor our families to love, to each other, and to the sweetest memories we'll carry forever. In our home, the holidays aren't just about the big moments; they're woven into the smallest details: the way we light candles together on the first night of December, the stories we tell while decorating cookies, the gratitude we share around our table.
These traditions don't have to be perfect or Pinterest-worthy. They just need to be yours—filled with intention, wrapped in love, and passed down with pride.
Creating Your Family's Holiday Magic
Start Small, Dream Big
- Choose one meaningful tradition to begin this year—maybe it's hot chocolate and carols on December 1st
- Let each family member contribute an idea—traditions feel more special when everyone has a voice
- Focus on connection over perfection—burnt cookies taste better when made with love
Memory-Making Ideas
- Create a family gratitude jar—add notes throughout November and read them on Thanksgiving
- Start an ornament tradition—each year, let kids pick one special ornament to add to your tree
- Establish 'Pajama Christmas Morning'—make it about presence, not presents
Bre's Family Wisdom
"The best holiday traditions aren't found in magazines—they're born from your family's unique rhythm of love. Maybe it's pancakes shaped like Christmas trees, or maybe it's the way your grandmother hums while she cooks. Whatever it is, honor it, protect it, and watch how it becomes the golden thread that weaves your family's story together."
