I had a quick look for a traditions thread, and couldn't see anything, so apologies if I'm double-posting.
I'm after some new traditions for November-December. Dh and I have two kids who will be 12&14 by this Christmas, and aren't into the same things as they used to be.
Last year it was very noticeable that I had a teenager, re; mood swings/unenthusiastic about everything!
We usually do a North Pole breakfast on 1st December, we have Advent calendars, and we usually take our dogs to a rented field on Christmas Eve. I also do a scavenger hunt for the kids on Christmas Eve morning for them to find their Xmas Eve box (although I have to adapt this as it's now too easy for them!)
In other year's, we've played games, made gingerbread houses etc which was ok.
Does anyone have any ideas for a Christmassy thing to do (perhaps for each weekend on the run-up to the day)?
Thanks!
