This Christmas start a new tradition with your kids. Make it something that only your immediate family does together. Perhaps you go to a Christmas Tree farm and cut down a tree. Or maybe just go to pick up an already cut tree. Make a day of it. Pick out the tree, bring it home, put on some Christmas music and decorate together. Maybe you have a favorite Christmas movie. Pop some popcorn, turn the lights out and snuggle together on the sofa.
Make cookies together-from a mix or from scratch. Then settle in with some hot chocolate and decorate the cookies.
There are any number of things you can do that can be your tradition. Pick one that you and your children will look forward to every year. I don't remember any traditions I had growing up-except for what days we visited family to exchange presents. I wish that there had been more. So I vow to start them with my own children. Perhaps we can change our thinking about Christmas as the time for presents and more about the time for family and experiences.
