NEW TRADITIONS
1. Reflection cards
Print out blank cards, and use them to ask your children to name their bests, favorites, and most memorable moments of the year. Start when your child is a toddler, and keep going as they grow. In a few years you can look back and laugh and remember old memories.
2. New Years Survey
Help your child fill out a “survey” as an annual holiday tradition. Along with taking a look back at this year, you can browse the printed surveys decades from now to see the progression in their answers.
3. Homemade Hot Chocolate
It’s time for a new New Year’s Day drink. Set up an annual hot cocoa bar, making your own creations. Create a new signature hot chocolate flavor each year to keep this sweetly steamy tradition going. Here is a recipe to kick off the tradition!
