As we inch towards Thanksgiving and continue to plan for Christmas, share with me: What are some of your favorite Christmas time traditions? Are there things you can remember doing as a child during the holidays that you would like to pass down to your own children? Are there events in your area that you attend annually? Maybe there are some Season Spectaculars that you have always wanted to experience, but never seem to make the time. This is your year, my friend!
Our area boasts all sorts of local events from festivals to school plays. Free school concerts to Symphony Pops at their finest. Whether you and your family choose simply caroling in your neighborhood or the extravagance of going to the Nutcracker Ballet, make a plan!
First, list the events that are local to you that you/your family is interested in attending. It may not be possible to do it all. Pick and choose and save some events for next year. If your area isn’t rich with local happenings to enrich your traditions, create some of your own.
Trimming the tree
Holiday Baking
Caroling
Taking cookies to firemen, neighbors, shut-ins
Trips/Vacations
Hosting a Party
After listing your preferred events, do a little research. Find out when, where, and how much it costs.
After selecting the celebrations you wish to be a part of, go ahead and add these events to your calendar. Make a plan to go.
Have a Holly Jolly Time!
