Family traditions become something special because of the memories associated with them. Some are religious, like lighting special candles or serving ethnic foods symbolic of your faith. Others are just generic fun. Anything you do for a holiday can become a tradition. If you have become a step-parent recently and this is the first holiday together with the children, be innovative.

Key Takeaways:

• However, I need some help figuring out how to create traditions wherever we are. Here are my ideas so far.
• I want to meet at the same coffee shop we went to last year with my sister in law and Mr. Gumdrop’s brother when we were both pregnant.
• We plan to attending whatever events and gatherings that are important to family members even if it feels like a lot. We’re in town for a limited time so family is priority.

“en though we have baby, there’s something lovely about getting up for a special service and meeting as a community to welcome in Christmas day and I hope to continue this tradition even if it will throw off her schedule a bit (So does traveling around to the other side of the world!).”
