Starting Traditions in Your New Home

If this is your first holiday in your new home, it is a perfect time to start some new traditions! When you move, you don't leave everything behind. You bring your belongings and your memories and yes, your traditions. But a fresh start in an unfamiliar house is just the inspiration you need to begin unique traditions that will make that house feel like your home.

Check out these fun ideas for creating new traditions:

• Take and annual family photo somewhere in or around your new home. Choose a theme or a pose that you can recreate every year. Label the photos with the date and create a photo book or framed collage with them. It will be so much fun for your family to see how everyone changes through the years. 100 Fun Family Photo Ideas


• Incorporate a cultural tradition. No matter what holiday you celebrate, you will find a cultural tradition to go with it. Make it a family activity to research your heritage and make new discoveries about how your ancestors celebrated. 2018 Diversity Holidays


• Sometimes we take all that we have for granted. A wonderful way to experience the holiday spirit is to express gratitude. This can be a fun and meaningful activity for the whole family. Whether you work together as a family to "give back" in your community, or you design an activity that allows your family members to express gratitude to each other, you will find deeper meaning in the spirit of the season.

• Create new holiday décor. You don't have to spend a lot of money to do this. Start a tradition of having your family make new ornaments for your Christmas tree beginning with a "new home" ornament.
