Looking Forward to Our Favorite Holiday Rituals

December 02, 2008

by Eliza Clark

A lot of the joy of the holidays is anticipating all of the special things we do at this time of year. So let's savor all of these rituals we enjoy with our children before, during, and after they happen!

Here are the ones we and our kids have been looking forward to most:

1. Advent calendars (Do you have one up yet? It's the perfect answer to your little one's "When will it be Christmas?")

2. Caroling and listening to holiday music

3. Hanging lights and decorating the house

4. Baking sugar cookies and frying latkes

5. Sending and receiving holiday cards

6. Watching Rudolf, Frosty and Charlie Brown

7. Making hot chocolate with marshmallows

8. Ice skating to holiday music

9. Gazing at holiday department store window decorations

10. Setting the table for a big family dinner

And more....

What do you look forward to most?
