A New Home Means New Holiday Traditions
Moving or building a new home is a wonderful new chapter in anyone’s life. When the holidays come around, it’s important to embrace not only the unique opportunities your new home provides, but also establish some new holiday traditions in it. There will be some timeless ones your family might already have, but there are potentially hundreds of new traditions to start bring in. Let’s think about what you could create in your new home for the upcoming Holiday Season.
Ornament Making
The beauty of ornament making is that it does not necessarily have to be kid centric. Adults love to create ornaments, especially if they have a keen eye for arts and crafts. If your new home has a large open area for guests or kids to spread out and create ornaments, then why not use it? Your new home will inspire guests and annually remind them of their time crafting away in your new home.
Photo Shoot
The Christmas Family Photo Shoot is a traditional way of capturing everyone at the happiest time of the year. It also happens to be the perfect way to display your new home to family and friends. The photo shoot will not only act as a snapshot frozen in time of your family, but your home too. Reflecting back on this time in years to come will be delightful.
Hosting A Party
Hosting a party in your new home can be a fun way of introducing it to family and friends and a perfect way to establish a new tradition of hosting. Sure hosting a party can be a lot of work, but it’s also quite a selfless act. And what time of the year is better than the Holidays to be selfless! Guests will love the tradition you create by hosting in your home and each year you can tweak the theme, activities, food and drink… whatever you feel like.
Decorating Your Home
There’s no country in the world that decorates for Christmas like here. Our homes can be decorated for the Holidays in so many ways. Outdoor displays in the yard or light displays on a roof are fun ideas for neighbors and passersby. When it comes to inside, new homeowners don’t have to stop at the tree. Fill your new home with garlands, ornaments, light features and mistletoe to really give it that Holiday feel. For those that may not necessarily have the eye for holiday design, the good news is that there are a number of companies out there who will come to your new home and do it for you!
Baking
Chances are your new home has a great kitchen in it. Why not put it to use in the Holiday season by baking up a storm in it! Cookies, Gingerbread Houses, Pies and Cakes why not try it all in your new home’s kitchen. Kids will love the experience and everyone will love the end product!
