Especially when it comes to Christmas. Most of us already have some sort of Christmas traditions, whether it\u2019s a tradition we grew up with that we continue to do with our own children, or one we recently started. To me, traditions are some of the best things about the holiday season.<\/p>\n<p> <!--more--> <\/p>\n<p>But after talking with some family and friends recently, some of them kind of shrugged their shoulders and said they don\u2019t really have any traditions \u2013 but they wish they did. So, below I\u2019ve listed some simple, fun Christmas traditions that pretty much ANYONE can start. Remember, traditions don\u2019t have to be something elaborate. They can just be simple things you do every single Christmas simply because\u2026they make you happy. (you might even be doing some of these already and not realizing it\u2019s a tradition!)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tree Decorating Day<\/strong> \u2013 I know this might sound like something you just <strong><em>do<\/em><\/strong> and not a tradition, but it is! Growing up, and now with our boys, we plan a day\/night to decorate the tree together. We put on some Christmas music, pour some festive drinks and decorate the tree as a family. We also have a train that goes around the bottom of our tree. The boys are BIG fans, so we save it for last!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Christmas Lights<\/strong> \u2013 If you and your kids love holiday lights, hop in the car and drive around with a cup of hot chocolate checking out lights in the area. Our city happens to have a cute holiday light set-up down by the harbour, so we usually bundle up and make a trip down there at some point over the holiday season to check them out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elf on the Shelf<\/strong> \u2013 I know a lot of parents have a love\/hate relationship with this tradition, but kids LOVE it! I\u2019ve found some classrooms at some schools even have an elf! If you haven\u2019t read my <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mabelslabels.com\/the-elf-is-back\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Elf on the Shelf<\/a> article just yet, I included some ideas for your elf to help teach kids about the spirit of giving! It\u2019s a lot of fun! <\/p>\n<p><strong>Christmas Drinks &amp; Games<\/strong> \u2013 Growing up, while waiting for the turkey to cook, my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles would play cards while we played with our toys. When we were teenagers and into adulthood, we joined in the fun. There was always a euchre table set up, so we paired up, ate snacks, had some drinks, and played euchre all afternoon. Great memories!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Christmas Eve PJ\u2019s<\/strong> \u2013 Every year on Christmas Eve when I was a kid, there was always a present for my brother and I that magically appeared under the tree. After a few years, we KNEW it was PJ\u2019s. But we still really liked having a gift to open, and new jammies to wear to bed on Christmas Eve! We\u2019ve continued this tradition with our boys. They\u2019ve already caught on that it\u2019s always PJ\u2019s, but they still love it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Craft &amp; Parade Day<\/strong> \u2013 This is a new one for us! We\u2019ve done it the last couple of years, and it\u2019s a lot of fun. We pick up gingerbread house or cookie kits and decorate them together in the afternoon, then head to the Santa Claus Parade in the evening. It\u2019s a really fun day making family Christmas memories.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, our favourite holiday traditions are quite simple. Just the way we like them!
