"The Book of New Family Traditions: How to Create Great Rituals for Holidays & Everydays”
by Meg Cox
(Reviewed by Columbia Center's Ann Grauer)
When you have a baby you create your very own family. You and your partner were probably raised differently—each family having different ways of celebrating holidays, birthdays and every day. As a new family you have to now find your own family traditions that will be meaningful to you and your children. “The Book of New Family Traditions: How to Create Great Rituals for Holidays & Everydays” by Meg Cox can help you to do that. Half the fun of having kids is getting to see the world through their eyes. And there is nothing that little ones love more than having traditions that are always done.
Whether it's something you all will do every Thanksgiving or a special, “Life Has Been Too Crazy So We're Staying Home and Making Forts with Blankets Day” there are numerous ideas in this book to spark your creativity. Spend a little time thinking about the traditions you want in your own family and then have a blast.
