Tis' The Season for Family!
In a highly commercialized world, we sometimes get lost in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and forget to take a moment and do what is most important during this time of year - make memories!
Sure it is nice to get a gift or see your kids super excited over their fancy new gaming console or laptop but 20 years down the line, chances are what you received as a gift for Christmas, is not what will make the holiday season truly memorable. Here are some ideas to help kick off your holiday with a new Christmas Eve Tradition! If you don't already do something on the night before Christmas, this is a sure-fire way to help create lasting memories that will make this holiday season one you'll cherish for many, many years to come.
Christmas Light Sight Seeing Tour
Quality time with your family will always be something to cherish and nothing says Christmas like being awed by the beauty of lights. Make it a Christmas Eve tradition to tour around town and seek our the most beautiful and festive light displays. There is just something magical about seeing those twinkling lights as you're counting down to Christmas day!
Christmas Movie Time
If you'd rather stay home and be cozy, get on the couch with your favorite treats and watch a classic Christmas movie! Escape and get lost in the world of make believe and let those festive feelings start creeping in!
Christmas Eve Service
Even if you're not typically religious, there is definitely something special about going to church on Christmas Eve. A group of people getting back to the basics, remembering and celebrating the reason for the season. Also, those traditional Christmas hymns come alive and fill your heart and soul with an inner peace that is hard to find anywhere else!
Bake Some Goodies
Need we say more? Who doesn't love some fresh holiday goodies? They'll fill your tummies, warm your heart and get you ready to relax and rest! Two things we often forget to do during the holidays!
Gift or Ornament Exchange
If you're having family over, why not ditch the gift cards and have an ornament exchange instead! Each participant is responsible for bringing one Christmas tree ornament. There are various games you can play or simply put them all in a big pile and everyone choose one! Regardless of your method, at the end of the game you have a beautiful new ornament for your tree that will help you remember someone special each year you hang it on your tree!
Christmas Karaoke
Of course we HAVE to mention some Christmas Karaoke! Whether you're singing with your family, on SingSnap or in the SingSnap Chat Friends Chat Room - belt out those festive tunes and feel the magic of Christmas fill your body!
Whatever you end up doing this holiday season, remember to slow down and enjoy the people around you. Whether your family is close by or far away, it is important to connect, cherish and remember because afterall - 'Tis the season for family!
