How to Make a Christmas Traditions Notebook

Remembering all of the family recipes and traditions from year to year can be troublesome. In the hustle and bustle of a busy family, how can you be sure that all the best things are being passed down? Creating a Christmas Traditions Notebook will keep your sentimental traditions alive.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 3 ring Binder
• Indexed tab dividers
• Photos

1. Create sectioned tab dividers for recipes, decorations, tree traditions, gift-giving traditions, shopping traditions, community service traditions, party traditions, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

2. In each section, write out what traditions are important to your family. Consider using the computer to type out these traditions. When you're printing recipes, be sure to include a picture of Grandma making the Pumpkin pie, or the 1981 holiday table.

3. Get the input of your siblings and your children. Also, include some of your spouse's favorite family traditions. You might want to make a note of when each tradition started, how it's evolved over the years and your favorite memories surrounding it.
