The Benefits of Holiday Traditions: How to Keep Them Alive and Meaningful - Season 4 Episode 26
Do you remember the magic of your family's holiday traditions and the joy of waking up on Christmas morning? Join me, in this episode of Holly's Highlights, as I take you on a journey through the heart of Christmas, sharing my treasured family customs, from holiday smorgasbords to candlelight services. But that's not all! We're exploring unique traditions from around the world, like Finland's hidden almond in porridge and the Netherlands' amusing potato gifts for naughty kids.
Change is inevitable, especially as our loved ones grow and start their own families. So, how do we keep our traditions alive and meaningful? This episode is packed with practical tips and inspiring ideas on how to adapt and evolve your family rituals during these transitions. Whether it's finding ways to include those who don't have family nearby in your celebrations or creating new traditions while still honoring the old ones, we've got you covered. And let's not forget, Christmas is a season of giving. So, let's explore the importance of service and community engagement during this festive period too. Join me for an episode filled with holiday warmth, reflection, and inspiration, because traditions, after all, are about love, joy, and intentional togetherness.
