Creating New Traditions in Six Steps

Family traditions create wonderful memories for children to pass down to their children. But what happens to holiday traditions when you sell it all and go on the road to live in a few hundred square feet? Repurposing and remodeling these comfortable and cozy memories if you leave your expectations at the door. Creating new traditions is the best way to celebrate a new lifestyle while creating new memories.

Create a new tradition around a common idea or event is.  Such as,  going to see The Nutcracker or a version of Scrooge. Christmas programs such as those are live productions in all areas of the country. So create the tradition around that one idea, going to see Nutcracker for example, no matter where you are in the country. Expand on that to fit your family. Maybe you make lasagna or some family favorite meal before you go. Or, maybe you find the best deep dish pizza in town wherever you are located before going. An alternative to this is going TO THE MOVIES on Christmas Day, the day after Christmas – each year, a few movies are released on Christmas Day. That is another easy way to create a new tradition. The point is:  Find an idea and make it your own.

  • Decorate the RV
  • Plan an annual trip to see The Nutcracker no matter where you are in the country
  • Advent calendars are a perfect holiday remembrance no matter where you live
  • Celebrate the 25 Days of Christmas with a basket of holiday reading alouds
  • Immerse the whole family in Christmas Around the Country
