Holiday Memories
Every family has its own unique way of celebrating the holidays. As two people unite and create a new family, they meld traditions from each of their backgrounds that becomes the new family’s own way of celebrating. But it’s important to remember traditions from generations past. Who we are and where we came from gives each family it’s own identity and character. By creating a scrapbook of how your family celebrates, you will ensure that the memories will be passed on through the generations to come.
This year’s holiday season is fast approaching and before we know it, it will all be a blur of memories. Keep your camera somewhere where you can grab it to snap that unexpected moment to include in a scrapbook of this holiday season. Maybe it’s the look on your child’s face when he sees Santa for the first time or the wonder of a grandchild as they look through photo albums of their parent’s childhood Christmases. Take more pictures than you think you’ll need so that you can select the best to represent the feeling of the moment. Make sure that your journaling expresses how you felt when the picture was taken. In years to come, these photos, as well as your words on what the moment meant to you will be a treasured keepsake for your family. No matter how your family celebrates the holidays, the memories of what the holidays meant to generations past is a wonderful legacy to give to your children and grandchildren.

Very sound advice here. You have to be ready for the moment and also be creative as to how you can recreate it later! It’s wonderful to make lasting memories for the family, with your choice of venues, food and festivities should be one of them. And showing someone you care!
