Coming together as a family with holiday traditions builds lasting memories that live on in the form of love and shared values. They are precious gifts that defy time. When it comes to Christmas traditions, words like fun, simple, family oriented, and meaningful all come to mind for making great holiday memories.
Childhood development experts say that family traditions are vital for children. They are more than just fun. They reinforce your values and create a routine that brings a sense of security and belonging. According to Family Life Educator Amy Griswold,
“Research shows us that routines and traditions are part of healthy families.
Traditions give security to young people, providing a sense of continuity
and routine that they can depend on year after year…
Children will remember the special experiences of family traditions
more than toys and gifts.”
