Traditions are such an important part of the holiday season. Some are formed and some simply unfold over time. When I was younger, I wanted to give gifts to everyone in my life, but my babysitting money only went so far, so I began making gifts for those in my life. What unfolded was a tradition of making gifts with my children for loved ones in our lives. It doesn’t always look exactly the same, and some years I’m more prepared than others, but it’s always something we do together and use as a way to share our family value of generosity and community.
