Christmas Traditions
Traditions are an important part of every family and every holiday. When I was a kid, I remember looking forward to Christmas Eve and it’s traditions, which included Santa, gifts and spending time with family. It was also one of two nights every year that I could stay up really late (that’s important to kids).
Part of each families tradition might also include travel. Whether it is traveling short distances to visit family or traveling half-way across the world for a special family vacation, holiday travel is special. Providing an experience, whether it be family or cultural, can be a wonderful gift for any child. Travel is the gift that creates a lifetime of memories.
No matter what your traditions, spend quality time with your family this holiday season and if you choose to travel, do it safely and watch out for Santa’s sleigh.

It was such a memorable tradition for me as a child that we decided to make a holiday light show part of our family tradition for our kids too.
Finding and choosing a display seems to be half the battle these days. With economic hardships impacting businesses and families alike, many displays just aren’t lit this year. In New Jersey, the options are already limited and in 2009, the PNC Holiday Light Spectacular was canceled, limiting the choices even further. Luckily, the display that we’ve been visiting for three years running didn’t disappoint. Read the rest of this entry »
