9 Holiday Traditions To Start With Your Partner That'll Forever Be All You Want For Christmas

In This Article:

The holidays can be such a fun time of year, one centered around family and loved ones. Everyone who celebrates does so slightly differently, so learning about your significant other's traditions can be a lot of fun. Introducing each other to the many things you love about the season is so important, not to mention fun.

But why not also make some new traditions together? Here are 9 Christmas traditions you and bae can consider starting together:

1. Make a gingerbread house. 

Or a gingerbread village. Or ugly Christmas sweater cookies.

2. Watch all the Christmas classics and bake cookies. 

Christmas pjs would be a great addition too!

3. Go see local Christmas lights. 

Some neighborhoods get really into the Christmas season - look around your city or town!

4. Gift an ornament each year. 

You're collection will gradually grow!

5. Visit Christmas Town or a Christmas Marketplace. 

There is always so much to look at! And you can find some awesome gifts along the way.

6. Write Christmas Eve notes of gratitude. 

Exchange notes to each other on Christmas Eve detailing your love for one another, your favorite memories from the last couple months, etc.

7. Gift at least one sentimental, homemade gift. 

It can be anything! Some of my favorites are "Open When..." letters or a deck of cards that have one thing you love about your S.O. on each card.

8. Fill a stocking for each other. 

Stockings are one of my favorite parts of Christmas so it's something we always incorporate!

9. Reflect on the previous year, and set goals for the following. 

The new year is coming up!

What traditions do you and your significant other like incorporating into your holiday season?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
