Celebrating your first Christmas in your new home should be a memorable occasion. You’ll want to create special moments and traditions that resonate with you. If you are moving into a new home, here are some suggestions to help make Christmas a festive and unforgettable experience.
Personalize Your Decorations
Invest in personalized decorations that represent your family or the new home. This could include customized ornaments, stockings or even a wreath with your family name on it.
Host a Holiday Housewarming
Invite family, friends and new neighbors to a holiday housewarming party. It’s a great way to show off your new home and celebrate the season.
Take a Walk
Get to know your new neighborhood by taking the family on a stroll to view the beautiful Christmas lights and decorations. Want to get to know your neighbors better? Get a caroling group together!
Create a Holiday Playlist
Curate a special playlist of your favorite holiday tunes. Play it while decorating the tree, baking cookies or just enjoying the festive atmosphere in your new home. Have every member of the family include at least one of their favorite Christmas songs.
Have a Holiday Movie Marathon
Have a holiday movie marathon night with your favorite Christmas videos. This will be especially fun if your new home includes a media room. Let family members pick out their favorite movies, pop some popcorn, hand out hot chocolate and settle in for some festive family time.
Christmas Morning Breakfast
Create a special breakfast tradition for Christmas morning. It can be as simple as cinnamon rolls or elaborate as brunch. Be sure to have one special dish that only gets served at Christmas.
