I’m a big time lover of traditions. As a kid I always thought they were the best thing ever. Especially around the holidays and that love has stuck with me ever since. My hubby and I raise our boys with lots of fun traditions and always looking for new ones to try.
Some we keep. Some tweak and some end up not being our style. But it’s always fun no matter how long we keep them around. Traditions are something that if fun enough might stick around for generations. And that’s just awesome to think about.
So if your looking to start new traditions or maybe add some to try out. Then your in the right place. I’ve put together a fun list of 50 family fun Christmas traditions you should definitely try.
If your not a big tradition person but love to still do fun things. You should check out my Christmas Bucket List post. So many fun things to do. And I gave 2 cute printables for it.
If you’d like to print out a list of them all and cross off as you do them. Save it with your Xmas decor to look back on and try for years to come. Then at the bottom I share how to snag my free printable list. It’s cute enough to frame as decor also.
