Establish
Your Own Traditions
from How
to Have A Romantic Holiday
You have your family traditions. Your sweetie has his. Whether
they involve the Christmas music you always play while you decorate
the tree, the holiday fudge you always make and give to the neighbors,
or the wreath you always make for the front door, these traditions
help define the holidays.
But establishing your own traditions together is an especially
important, and romantic, part of being a couple. New couples especially
will enjoy establishing their own special holiday traditions.
Here are some ideas for making your "own" holiday traditions
as a couple:
- start a tradition of baking a pie together each year
- pick "our song" your favorite carol
- start a tradition of renting a favorite holiday movie every
year
- begin a tradition of "our night" one night
you set aside during the busy holidays as a romantic date
to be enjoyed together and alone
- start a tradition of celebrating Boxing Daythe day
after Christmas
- celebrate the German tradition of Zweite Weihnachten on
December 26th, a day enjoyed with friends
- make a tradition of a "wrapping afternoon." The
two of you can share the task of wrapping presents, a job
eased with some music, wine, or munchies.
- make a special day of putting up your holiday lights and
Christmas tree. Prepare a special meal. Take pictures.
