Happy Holidays! Even though this holiday season is going to be a bit different than usual I thought it would be fun to recap some of my family holiday traditions.
Gift giving: Our morning usually starts with us handing out gifts to everyone and we often open them from oldest to youngest.
Talent show: Now this tradition started over 20 years ago and continues to be passed on off and on throughout our generations. It isn’t as big as it used to be and mostly consists of the young kids putting on plays or singing karaoke but either way it is one of my favorites.
Brunch: We usually have a fairly big holiday dinner so during the day we would usually have a light brunch with breakfast items just to hold us over until dinner (which was usually served before usual dinner time).
Friends and Family time: Later in the day an early dinner was usually served and often friends and family would stop by for some laughs, conversation and maybe a plate of delicious food. Other than watching the kids open presents this was my favorite part of the holiday tradition. We would get to see so many people that we haven’t seen in awhile and that was always nice.
So those are our main holiday traditions. This year it will be a little different – perhaps some Zoom and phone calls instead of the normal fun times that we have.
