Have fun giving to others in some small way every Christmas time as a new memory making tradition.

Holiday Bucket List

This is a fun idea to do with the whole family to make some memories at Christmas time. Before December 1st rolls around, have everyone in the home write down a bucket list item that they’d like to do during the month of December.

Try your best to complete every bucket list item, as a family, in December leading up to Christmas day.

 

Make Holiday Cards

Sit down as a family to create holiday cards for elderly people at the nursing home. Call your local nursing home to set up a date and time for you and your family to deliver these holiday cards.

Be sure to include a card for the workers there as well, so that you can make this a memorable moment during Christmas time for everyone.
