We asked Birmingham Moms for their traditions (new and old) that required little money but produced cherished holiday memories. Here’s a sampling of what a few of our readers had to say.
Kerry said “Put peanut butter on pinecones, sprinkle with birdseed, hang from the trees and give the birds a Happy Holiday present!” and also “Simple salt dough ornaments. Let the kids hang them from their own kiddo tree!”
SavingforEight said “sitting around the tree drinking hot chocolate has become tradition round here! My boys asked to do it again this year:)”
Britt said “tempura paint feet and handprints ornaments for the Grandparents”
Julie said “It is killing my waistline but I am letting my boys help me cook treats. They are having so much fun in the kitchen.”
Selena said “My kids LOVE their chocolate Advent calendars!”
The little guy and I wear our Christmas PJs to my husband’s side of the family’s Christmas get-together. Great fun! Still trying to get the hubs in on though, LOL!
Thanks for linking up! These are all great ideas on things you can do with your kiddos. Any time spent with your kiddos can be a therapeutic moment.
I’m trying to remember that this season isn’t about running myself ragged to find the perfect gift or finish the class cookies – I’m trying to remember to slow down and enjoy everyone around me. For anyone who missed it, Marie had a WONDERFUL post that touched on this a tad – you can read it here on All Access Pass to Jack – Life is Therapy: Goals http://www.allaccesspasstojack.blogspot.com
