The best marriage article of December focused on a series that Sherry and I wrote detailing the traditions couples develop surround the holiday. In Why You and Your Spouse Should Create Your Own Traditions we talked about the holidays and what traditions my husband and I used to celebrate our first few Christmases before we had our daughter.
Later, our traditions changed, but that is a natural event as families grow and develop. The birth of children will have a great deal of influence on the traditions you and your spouse celebrate and honor. For families with older children, don’t hesitate to introduce new traditions. You may be surprised at what your children are interested in doing and what suggestions they have for themselves.
Creating Traditions
Traditions become traditions because we practice them year in and year out. What our parents celebrated may be honored or it may change over time as we grow and develop our families over time. The best of marriage articles are those that offer observation and suggestion. In this case, the article did both.
There are more articles peppered through December from Sherry and myself detailing more and more about traditions, creating them and how to celebrate the holidays. It’s amazing to me that we have been doing this for over a year here and I suppose next December, you will have to suffer through me remarking on the fact that we’ve been doing this for two years. Recognizing the best articles in a blog is a nearly impossible task. I could not do it on my own and I honestly think we do our best to give you the best in every single article we deliver here. So if you missed anything this month, I’d advice you to give the December Archive a once over – as we prepare to say goodbye to 2006, don’t forget to go back and see where we’ve been.
