During this season of joy and celebration we have an opportunity to experience the traditions that our families have passed down for generations as well as create new ones.
Many times these traditions tell a story – stories of miracles, stories of overcoming challenges, and stories of new beginnings.
What better way to appreciate our own rich family heritage than to learn about the Holiday traditions of others and the stories behind them.
When we are mindful we connect more fully with the people around us and embrace how diversity enriches our lives and the “Great Joy” it brings.
Ya never know, once you understand the meaning behind them, you may incorporate one of these age old tradition in your own family festivities.
