Holiday traditions — what memories do they spark for you? Was it your grandmother’s famous pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving, Christmas caroling with your family, matching jammies on Christmas Eve, driving around to see lights, or the candlelight service at church?

 

Traditions and rituals are an important part of every family’s unique bond. As adoptive families, they are equally — if not even more — important for creating a sense of belonging.

 

In today’s episode, I’m sharing some of my favorite holiday traditions from my own family and the ones we’ve carried forward with our children.

 

I also invite you to reflect: what are your favorite traditions, and how have you incorporated them into your children’s lives to keep them alive?
