Your family may have special traditions. Whether making cookies, walking around to enjoy colorful lights, or watching a favorite holiday movie, these traditions can help you feel closer to the people you love. 【小题1】 Here’s how to get started.

Think about the traditions your family already has, then write them down. Ask older adults in your family what traditions they remember participating in as children. 【小题2】

Next, gather the thoughts you and your family may have for brand-new traditions. 【小题3】 For instance, you could discuss making a special once-a-year outing, like going to a nice restaurant or seeing a show.

【小题4】 Think about who those people are in your family. They can help you with creating the “guest list” for any special family gathering, picking a date and time, and choosing the setting. They can also help you plan a video call with loved ones who may live far away but still want to share in the fun.

Celebrating traditions is a great way to create family memories that last forever. Consider taking photos while you’re spending time together. If you try a new tradition, take time afterward to reflect on it. Did your family enjoy it? Is there anything you would do differently next time? The point of a tradition is to like it so much that you want to do it again. 【小题5】
