For our family the Christmas Pageant at church is a biggy-- 2 of my mom's best friends run it and pulled me in. Christmas would not be the same without it. Other easy ones are making a day out of getting of setting up the tree or nativity. My…

We do The Jesse Tree and Advent chains. They all add to the craft and fun and of course to tradition. We do the wreath and candles as well. Last year we did a novena - St Andrews Christmas Novena. We make Christmas foods- fruit cake, shortbread,…

My kids LOVE our Christmas traditions. I would definitely try St. Nicholas Day. The kids put out their shoes and there are small treats in them in the morning on Dec. 6. We also take a walk on Christmas Eve. and throw corn for the deer and other…

I don't have a 12 year old, yet, but I've taught plenty of them and I'm thinking more than anything this is the age speaking. I'd try to root out what he's really getting at. What made him think of Christmas and traditions?…

It sounds like you have quite a bit . Could your child be overlooking all of this due to possible hearing secular things that people do ? My children did just this. The first thing I did was explained what I considered our traditions to be. (Advent…

I'm really glad you wrote about this! My kids haven't said anything, but I feel like I don't do enough "traditionally." We do all of the secular things, but I haven't incorporated too many of the "true reason for…

It sounds like you have quite a few traditions going on. Are you sure that's what your 12 yo was really saying, or was there something else going on? You could add a cookie-making day and maybe bundle them up and give them out. I'm…

Is it too early to talk about Advent and Christmas?

Last Christmas my 12 yr old was upset because he said our family has no Christmas traditions this surprised and upset me because i think we do have some and some of my best memories as a child were of sharing the many traditions I has with my parents and siblings. I would like to change his perception of this by adding some simple meaningful things that will become traditions. I do have a tendency to try hard to keep things simple and this may be the root of his frustration. I minimalize. I do…See More

I'm a sucker for scrawled crayon drawings and grade school water colors. This is just a little spot where you can scan and share your kids' art projects.
