Family Singing Carols in Christmas themed attire

You’ve picked out a Christmas tree, hung the lights around your house, and a rendition of your favorite reindeer with his red nose so bright is adorning your front lawn. Holiday cheer is in the air. This December add a few new items to your family’s list of annual Holiday traditions. Here are five great ideas to help you get in the Holiday spirit.

Make Homemade Hot Chocolate

There’s nothing like sitting around the table or lounging in your living room with family. Add a warm mug of  hot chocolate and a great moment becomes a perfect memory. To make the day even more memorable make a pot of homemade hot chocolate together. The experience will be ripe for nostalgic musings years later. Here’s some great recipes to try.

Go Caroling Together

Part of the Christmas season is the wonderful Christmas songs playing on the radio, in your favorite dinner, and your local grocery store. You and your family can spread the joy of Christmas carols even further. If someone in your family has a talented singing voice, put it to good use during the holiday season. Go caroling in your neighborhood.

Participate In A Toy Drive

The Christmas season is all about giving and what could match the season more than giving to a child in need. Participating in a toy drive will help someone less fortunate wake up to a merry Christmas with toys and presents they wouldn’t receive otherwise.

Look at Christmas Lights

Taking a tour of the best lights in your neighborhood or your town is a great way to spend an evening, especially if you have younger children. Seeing the bright lights illuminating the homes and businesses in Alcoa, Tennessee can make the season feel magical.
