Some Christmas traditions have been around for centuries – but that doesn’t mean there’s no room for new ones! Why not create your own traditions with your family this year to make the festive season even more special?
There are a number of modern traditions you can easily incorporate into your own Christmas rituals. And they don’t have to be confined to Christmas day either. Get your family into the festive spirit early by making your own advent calendar and counting down to Christmas together. Not only is this a fun family activity that gives kids the chance to get crafty, it also allows you to choose what the treat will be each day.
If your children are worried that you don’t have a chimney in your home, why not give them our Magic Santa Key to leave out on Christmas Eve so that Santa isn’t locked out. To make the tradition even more special, they can hide it outside and find it outside their door the next morning with a pile of thank you lollies and treats!
Children are often impatient and excited on Christmas Eve, so it’s the perfect night to try out special new traditions. Let them open a special present a night early and take a family photo in front of the tree so you have a keepsake each year. New pyjamas are a great choice for night before Christmas presents because the children can wear them for the photo.
Hanging Christmas stockings read for Santa is a tradition that remains popular in many countries. Hanging personalised stockings with your kids’ names on them are a lovely way to make this tradition special for your own family for years to come, and it’s something family members both young and old can get involved in.
