Holiday Traditions
Tradition is a
big part of the
holiday season.
Families lean into tradition
each December,
and perhaps no people
participate in holiday
customs with more enthusiasm
than children.
Whether it’s decorating
the family Christmas tree or baking cookies for Santa on
Christmas Eve, children look forward to various holiday
season traditions once the calendar turns from November
to December.
Parents of young children can make this unique time of year
even more special by engaging in various kid-friendly traditions
that are sure to produce lots of fun and even more
lasting memories.
• Advent calendars: Th e precise origins of Advent calendars
are unknown, but historians believe the tradition was
started by German Lutherans in the nineteenth century.
More than a century later, roughly 50 million Advent
calendars are sold across the globe each year, according to
Marketplace.org. Advent is a nearly monthlong period of
preparation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ
on December 25. Each day during Advent, children open
a fl ap, window or door and fi nd a small gift, poem, candy,
or another item that adds to the excitement of the season.
• Matching pajamas: Th ough the tradition of wearing
matching holiday pajamas may not have the same lengthy
history as Advent calendars, it’s nonetheless a very fun custom
for families. Parents can decide how frequently their
families dress up in matching pajamas at bedtime during
the holiday season, but doing so on Christmas Eve is a popular
way to make a fun day even more special. Another idea
is to host weekly holiday movie nights during the season,
which presents a perfect opportunity to don matching PJs.
• Holiday lights tour: Holiday lighting displays have come
a long way in recent decades. Whereas it might once have
been popular to string a few strands of lights around the
exterior of a house, many holiday celebrants now beckon
their inner Clark Griswold and turn their properties into
areas with enough illumination to land a small plane. Holiday
infl atables for the yard add to the awe of such displays.
Kids tend to be especially fond of these types of displays,
so parents can make a point to pick a night each holiday
season to go on a tour of their neighborhoods and towns to
see this year’s off erings.
• Christmas dance party: Sweets are another staple of the
holiday season, and what better way for kids to burn off
some of that extra sugar than to dance it away to a holiday
music playlist curated by Mom and Dad? Cue up some
holiday classics but let kids dance to a few of their own
favorites as well.
