4 Ideas for Family Holiday Traditions

This blog post is sponsored by Personalization Mall. Thank you for supporting the brands that support this blog. 

As many of you know, Ben and I got married this fall! We are so excited to spend our first holiday season as a family. I started a few traditions with Aimery over the years, and I’m looking forward to starting new ones this year with Ben. There are four holiday traditions that we are really excited to start this year, and wanted to share them with you! Keep reading for the new traditions we will be starting this year!

BAKING COOKIES

One tradition we want to start this holiday season is spending an entire day baking cookies! Aimery and I love baking together, since recently he’s really enjoyed being a helper in the kitchen! We’ve been using the Christmas Family Tree Personalized Cookie Jar from Personalization Mall to store all of our cookie creations so far this holiday season. We love this cookie jar from Personalization Mall because this company always has free personalization, when other brands charge an additional fee for personalization! We love using Personalization Mall and never have to worry about hidden fees or customization charges.

DECORATING THE HOUSE

I’m definitely one of those people who decorate for the holidays before it’s even Thanksgiving! I love celebrating the holidays for as long as possible, so the second Halloween is over, my mind goes right to Christmas! We ordered the “Watercolor Wreath Personalized Christmas Wood Centerpiece” to kick off the season and our holiday decorations! Even better, PersonalizationMall.com has fast shipping. Their 1-2 day turnaround time is often as fast as companies shipping non-personalized stock products. 

FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT

Is there a better feeling then watching the snow falling outside the windows and being snuggled up watching a movie together?? We always watch a combination of older and newer holiday films to mix it up during the holidays. This year, we want to watch some of Ben and I’s favorite holiday movies with Aimery. There are so many classic Christmas movies that are truly timeless! When it’s so cold outside, there's nothing better than being cozy indoors with the people you love. We love our “Holiday Bear Family Personalized Christmas Blanket” for family movie night! All of the designs are exclusive since they have our their design team! 

SETTING UP OUR TREE

Growing up, my family would always put up a faux tree that carries so many great memories. I have always wanted to go to our local Christmas Tree farm and pick out our own tree, so this year we really want to pick one out! I’m so excited for Aimery to help us pick out a tree, I know he is going to have the best time. We always make hot cocoa and decorate our tree together, and every year I get Aimery a new ornament to add to the tree! This year, the Baby Bear Personalized Wood Ornament was perfect and even has his name on it! I love ordering from Personalization Mall and having personalized items that are meant to be lasting keepsakes!

As we adjust to being a family of three, we can’t wait to share our old traditions and make new ones together! Personalization Mall has truly enhances our favorite holiday activities and inspired us to add more! Their products make the best gifts as well, as their products are completely unique and can only be found at PersonalizationMall.com, BedBathandBeyond.com and BuyBuyBaby.com!
