Christmas Traditions 🎄

I asked what you wanted to read - you answered, Christmas traditions! And I am more than willing to share.

Each year for the holidays, my family does the get-the-tree-decorate-the-house beat, as well as a few of our own traditions!

One tradition we like to do is go to our one local holiday store (I made a reel about it on this page). It’s this huge barn filled to the BRIM with decor (like floor-to-ceiling decor). My family has a little Christmas village we set up, and each year we go, we pick a new piece so the village keeps growing. My parents hope that one day, the my sisters and I will split the pieces and make our own villages for our fams (🥹)

The next tradition that we have is actually a newer one for us. My little sister and I assemble (or attempt to assemble) gingerbread houses, while my older sister chaper(judges)ones.

Each year on Christmas Eve, our family gathers at our cousin’s house to celebrate - and my family usually watches the grinch to finish the night off ◡̈

This year, I got to be in New York for Christmastime, so I think I’ve maybe made some new traditions too! Some of my fave holiday activities so far have been seeing the Hudson yards light display, visiting Rockefeller center & bryant park, finding cozy Christmas bars, and seeing the Nutcracker!

Thank you to those who suggested this post idea - it put me in the best mood! I’d love to hear your traditions if you have them too 🥰🤍
