Holiday Traditions to Start This Year

The holidays are quickly approaching and the end of the year is almost here. While we’re sure you’re busy wrapping up projects, it’s important to take time to enjoy this time of year. 

We’ve put together a list of fun holiday traditions that you can start right now. 

  1. Deck the halls - As a designer, this one may be a bit of a no brainer, but sometimes you spend so much time designing for your clients that your creative energy can be burnt out when it’s time to decorate for yourself. Take time to put out your favorite decorations and find new ways to get in the holiday spirit in your own home.

  2. Participate in a book exchange - The holidays can be a time to slow down and enjoy time with friends and family. Scheduling a book club evening or participating in a book exchange can be a great way to connect and unwind. Whether you’re reading the latest business books or enjoying popular fiction books, you’re sure to have a fun time discussing with friends. 

  3. Plan a holiday meal - Maybe you love cooking in the kitchen or maybe dining at a fancy restaurant is more your style. Plan a festive meal at a new restaurant or whip up a dish that celebrates your heritage or a tradition. 

  4. Throw a holiday party - Love to entertain, then this tradition is a great one for you to start. 

  5. Trim and maybe even chop down your own tree - Fake or real - it’s up to you! But the tradition of trimming the tree is a fun one to do with friends and family. Decorate with your favorite ornaments or try a completely new theme this year (remember the Home Edit’s rainbow tree… goals!). If you’re looking for an even bigger adventure, try cutting down your own tree at a tree farm. 

What are your favorite holiday traditions?

No matter what traditions you love this time of year, we hope this season is filled with joy and laughter. Happy Holidays!
