How To Throw The Best Friendsgiving

1. DECIDE ON THE DATE, GUEST LIST, AND LOCATION

First and foremost, in your journey of learning how to host Friendsgiving, you must decide on when and where this gathering will take place.

It’s essential to plan well in advance, especially if you have friends coming from different cities or states, as booking flights or making long drives during this time of year can be challenging.

Hosting Friendsgiving about a week before or after the actual Thanksgiving often proves ideal, aligning with when most friends are typically available.

Additionally, you must select a suitable location.

While your house, apartment, or condo may be the most straightforward choice, there’s room for creativity.

If you reside in a warm climate, hosting Friendsgiving outdoors can be a fun and unique experience.

Finally, you need to curate your guest list.

Depending on the size of the gathering you envision, this list can be extensive or include only your closest friends.

Deciding on your guest list early is vital for effective planning and food preparation.

2. PLANNING THE FEAST

Arguably the most crucial part of Friendsgiving is the menu.

The food and drinks are of paramount importance and require more planning than you might initially think.

Begin by creating a comprehensive list of classic Thanksgiving dishes and the ones you usually prepare. Cover all the bases to ensure everyone’s favorite dishes are included.

Your main meal list might encompass traditional elements like turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, bread rolls, stuffing, gravy, and various vegetables.

Don’t forget to provide appetizers and delectable pies for dessert. Ensure there’s an ample supply of beverages, from soda to alcohol, to keep your guests well-hydrated.

Friendsgiving is an excellent opportunity to embrace the concept of a potluck.

When your friends RSVP, encourage them to contribute a dish or two from your list or introduce something unique to their family’s Thanksgiving tradition.

Collaboratively, this potluck approach ensures a diverse and delicious spread, allowing you to focus on the essentials like the turkey and a few side dishes.

To manage everything smoothly, create a timeline for preparing each dish to alleviate stress and save time.

3. HOW TO DECORATE

Decoration is a vital aspect of creating an inviting and festive atmosphere for your Friendsgiving celebration.

Elevate the party’s ambiance with thoughtfully selected decorations. Consider table decorations, centerpieces, table settings for your guests, and even a dedicated area for a photoshoot backdrop.

For a Friendsgiving theme, focus on elements like flowers, fruit, pumpkins, and squash, as they create warm, seasonal aesthetics.

Make use of name cards to assign seating, and ensure the table settings are well-organized.

Rolled napkins and coordinating utensils, plates, and glassware give your table a professional and polished look.

Enhance the decor further with candles, banners, and any other decorative items that resonate with your Friendsgiving theme.

When planning a bar area, consider adding a bar cart with appropriate decor elements to enhance the theme.

Select background music to set the mood, with various playlists available online to suit the Friendsgiving atmosphere.

4. CONSIDER GAMES OR ACTIVITIES

Enhance your Friendsgiving celebration with planned games and activities.

Encourage gratitude by having each guest share what they’re thankful for this year, or engage in board games or card games after dinner.

Many fun Thanksgiving-themed games can also entertain your guests and foster camaraderie.

5. GO SHOPPING!

Creating a successful Friendsgiving celebration necessitates a well-organized shopping list.

Be sure to shop for groceries and decorations well in advance, and consider placing your online orders at least a week ahead of the event, especially if you’re purchasing decor items.

Shop for cleaning supplies as well to simplify post-celebration cleanup.

14. Puzzles by the Fireplace

When the evenings get chilly, cozy up with a good puzzle by the fireplace (or space heater, let’s be real). It’s the perfect way to relax and unwind after a long day.

15. Bird Watching

Fall is migration season, making it a great time for bird watching. Get yourself a pair of binoculars and enjoy the peacefulness of spotting some feathered friends.

16. Practice Yoga for Mindfulness

Yoga is the perfect way to stay grounded during the busy fall season. Roll out your mat and try some calming poses to unwind after a long day. Bonus points if you do it outside under the changing leaves for that extra zen feeling.

There’s something about fall that screams “curl up with a good book.” Get a group of friends together and start a cozy book club, complete with hot cocoa and plenty of blanket forts.

18. Fall Décor DIY

Transform your home into an autumn wonderland with DIY fall decorations. Think homemade garlands, centerpieces, and cute painted pumpkins.

If you’re feeling crafty, why not give woodworking a try? From building a simple birdhouse to more advanced projects, it’s a hands-on way to create something lasting. Plus, those cool fall mornings are perfect for working outdoors!

20. Learning Calligraphy

With holiday card season around the corner, now’s the perfect time to learn calligraphy. You’ll impress everyone with your beautifully handwritten notes come winter.

21. Nature Sketching

Take a sketchbook and a blanket to your local park and spend an afternoon sketching the changing leaves, acorns, or even a scenic fall sunset. It’s a calming way to connect with nature and get creative.

22. Learn to Play an Instrument

Always wanted to play guitar or master the piano? Fall is the perfect time to start! The cooler months offer the perfect opportunity to practice indoors, and by winter, you’ll be playing holiday tunes like a pro.

23. Embrace Embroidery

Embroidery is a lovely way to unwind while also creating something beautiful. Grab a hoop, some colorful threads, and start stitching cozy fall designs like pumpkins, leaves, or even some cute woodland creatures. It’s a hobby that’s both calming and creative!

Whether you’re embracing the outdoors or staying cozy inside, there are endless ways to make the most of fall. So, grab that pumpkin spice latte, slip into your favorite boots, and let’s get started on these fun fall hobbies!

33 New Christmas Traditions To Strengthen Your Family Bonds

Filed Under: Christmas //

The best family traditions to start this christmas

Christmas is a time of joy, love, and togetherness, and one of the best ways to enhance these feelings is by creating and nurturing traditions within your family.

As each year passes, it becomes increasingly apparent that our world is growing busier. Longer work hours, mounting workloads, and the constant juggling of numerous responsibilities have become the norm for many of us.

Traditions help instill a sense of belonging, create lasting memories, and reinforce the importance of family bonds.

Each tradition serves a unique purpose in bringing your loved ones closer together, fostering a sense of unity and warmth that is at the heart of the holiday season.

When Christmas approaches each year, a growing number of people find themselves exclaiming, “Ugh! This year has been so hectic, with a million things on our plate… we might have to forgo many Christmas traditions and opt for a more low-key celebration.”

Then, the next year arrives, and it’s a recurring story. This once-special and magical time of year suddenly becomes an added source of stress on our ever-expanding to-do list.

Why Traditions Are Important

The fact is, in the absence of established rituals, you’re overlooking the opportunity to experience profoundly beautiful moments with your loved ones. Here are several significant advantages to keep in mind when it comes to family traditions:

Christmas Traditions Help You Create Memories

Traditions provide opportunities for families to create lasting memories. These cherished moments will be treasured for years to come.

Consider how close you will be to your loved ones by incorporating meaningful traditions into your life.

Picture the joy your children will experience one day as they reminisce about their childhood. Consistent Christmas traditions offer these precious treasures!

Christmas Traditions Establish Emotional Connections

Christmas traditions build strong emotional connections between family members.

They remind us of the love and togetherness that define the holiday season. Numerous traditions nurture children with affection and offer solace during challenging or uncertain periods.

Consequently, this fosters a sense of security within their family setting and equips them to navigate the complexities of the world beyond with greater resilience.

Christmas Traditions Passes Down Values

Many traditions are rooted in cultural or religious values, providing an excellent way to pass these beliefs down to the next generation.

Christmas traditions are more than festive customs; they serve as valuable vehicles for passing down essential values from generation to generation.

These traditions instill the importance of love, togetherness, and kindness. They teach us the significance of giving, gratitude, and spreading joy to those less fortunate.

In the warmth of these traditions, we find an enduring connection with our heritage and a reminder that the spirit of Christmas is, above all, a spirit of compassion and goodwill.

Anticipatation And Excitement

Traditions often come with a sense of anticipation, creating excitement and bringing families closer.

Christmas Family Traditions That Will Create Memories

Let’s delve into the new Christmas traditions that will make your holiday season even more special.

Since each family is different, feel free to select those that resonate with you and promise to create wonderful experiences for your loved ones.

Have A Christmas Movie Marathon

Set aside a day to watch your favorite Christmas movies together, complete with popcorn and cozy blankets.

Who could miss all of the amazing movies at Christmas? Whether you’re into the classics like the Grinch, or the plethora of romantic Hallmark movies, snuggle up with your family by the fire and give at least one night to the holiday spirit.

Consider favorites like “A Christmas Story,” “White Christmas,” or “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

Here are some of my favorites that you can watch on Amazon Prime Video:

  • Elf
  • Disney’s A Christmas Carol
  • A Christmas Story
  • Four Christmases
  • The Santa Clause
  • Prancer
  • Polar Express
  • Arthur Christmas

If you need help hosting a movie marathon, we have a great post here, even though this is specifically for a scary movie marathon, this will work just well for your Christmas movie marathon.

Homemade Ornament Crafting

Design and create unique ornaments together as a family. Each year, you can add to your collection.

To make salt dough ornaments, you’ll need:

  • 2 Cups of All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Cup of Salt
  • About 1 Cup of Water

Simply mix the flour and salt and gradually add water until you achieve the right consistency.

Shape it according to your intended use. For example, roll it out, have your child press their handprint into the dough, and then trim around the handprint to create a neat circular shape.

Don’t forget to make a hole at the top for threading a ribbon to hang it on the Christmas tree. An ice pick works perfectly for this!

Allow the ornament to dry completely. The best way to do this is by placing it in the oven for a couple of hours at around 212 degrees Fahrenheit, gently flipping it a few times throughout.

Once it is fully dry, whip out some paint and decorate them as you see fit.

Cookie Baking Extravaganza

Spend a day baking and decorating a variety of Christmas cookies. Don’t forget to enjoy the sweet rewards together.

I prefer eating cookies more than baking them, but we always make time for a couple of cookie-baking nights during the holiday season.

Bake and decorate Christmas cookies, candies, gingerbread houses, or gingerbread men. Get artistic with stamps, glitter, and stickers to craft simple gift wraps, cards, and tags.

Consider inviting others to join you and turn it into an annual party – a delightful twist on the typical cookie exchange!

Reverse Advent Calendar

Instead of receiving, give back to your community by creating a “reverse” advent calendar. Each day, place an item in a box to donate to those in need.

A reverse advent calendar can be a powerful tool in helping children grow into more empathetic and socially conscious individuals.

By encouraging them to give instead of receive, it fosters a sense of generosity and compassion. It teaches kids the importance of helping those in need, making them aware of the less fortunate in their community, and instilling the joy of giving.

Decorating The Christmas Tree

Make decorating the tree a family affair, with everyone contributing and sharing stories about each ornament’s significance.

Have A Family Talent Show

Showcase your family’s talents in an entertaining talent show. It’s a great way to appreciate each other’s unique abilities.

Wear Matching Christmas Pjs On Xmas Eve

Gift the family matching Christmas pajamas to wear on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. It makes for adorable family photos!

Get your family a set of matching Christmas pajamas and snap a few pictures for lasting memories.

This tradition is incredibly enjoyable and creates lasting warm and cozy memories of family time on the night before Christmas.

Everyone will be snug in their new PJs, indulging in yummy snacks and delicious hot chocolate, all while watching a new or family-favorite Christmas movie.

Go Caroling With Your Family

Spread joy in your community by going caroling with your family. Singing together for others is a heartwarming tradition.

Have Yearly Secret Santas But, Add A Twist

Put a unique twist on the classic gift exchange by incorporating themes, challenges, or homemade gifts.

Make A Christmas Eve Box

Create a box filled with small presents and activities for Christmas Eve, like hot cocoa, a holiday book, and a cozy blanket for family snuggles.

Or surprise your child with a Christmas Eve Box to open.

Fill it with a new set of cozy Christmas PJs, a movie snack (like a bag of popcorn and some candy), a hot chocolate set, a cute new mug for their hot chocolate, and a fresh Christmas book.

Have A Holiday Scavenger Hunt

Organize a Christmas-themed scavenger hunt, with clues leading to various holiday surprises around the house.

Volunteer As A Family

Spend a day volunteering together at a local charity or soup kitchen, emphasizing the importance of giving back.

Next, helping others will undoubtedly bring you together. Is there a way for you to be generous over the season? Plan out a few options and enjoy the feel-good endorphins together.

Gingerbread House Decorating Contest

Have a gingerbread house decorating contest with prizes for the most creative and festive designs.

Get an awesome kit and have a fun-filled evening creating the most remarkable gingerbread house on the block. As a bonus, this Christmas tradition is excellent for teaching teamwork and collaboration.

Write Letters To Santa

Encourage each family member to write a letter to Santa, sharing their wishes and gratitude for the past year.

Read Holiday Stories

Share your favorite holiday stories or read a new one together each night leading up to Christmas.

Christmas Candlelit Dinner

Enjoy a special dinner by candlelight on Christmas Eve, complete with festive table settings and holiday music.

Create A Christmas Memory Scrapbook

Create a Christmas memory scrapbook, adding photos and notes about your holiday experiences each year.

Outdoor Adventure Day

Go on an outdoor adventure, such as hiking, ice skating, or a winter nature walk to appreciate the season’s beauty.

Set New Years Resolutions

On Christmas Day, gather as a family to reflect on the past year and set resolutions for the year ahead. These can be both individual and family resolutions.

Have A Special Breakfast

This particular tradition is ideal for Christmas morning. Choose a special holiday breakfast and indulge in some premium coffee for a Christmas morning that exudes warmth and coziness.

Drive And See The Christmas Lights

Drive and Admire the Lights. Some people go all out for the holidays. I adore the houses entirely covered in dazzling lights. This is especially fun if you go to the fancy neighborhoods.

Load up the car, play some Christmas music, and drive through local streets and neighborhoods to enjoy the breathtaking Christmas lights. To make it even cozier, have everyone wear their comfiest pajamas!

Visit Santa Claus

Visit Santa Claus as long as it doesn’t terrify your child, visiting Santa can be a magical experience.

It’s heartwarming (and a bit heart-wrenching) to look back each year and see how much your child has grown.

Make Christmas Lists

Draft Christmas Lists gather around the table and compose your Christmas wish lists as a family.

Have A Family Game Night

Game nights are a delight all year round. Explore these fun holiday games that we adore!

There are also numerous holiday-themed games that you and your family can explore. This one seems like a lot of fun!

Build A Snowman

Building a snowman together is our cherished family tradition this Christmas, bringing us joy in the snowy season.

Declutter And Donate

Decluttering and donating as a family tradition this Christmas not only simplifies our lives but also teaches the value of sharing and compassion.

Acts Of Kindness

Encourage each family member to share a kind act they performed or witnessed. We strive to do this daily.

Kindness should be a year-round presence, but the holidays serve as a wonderful reminder to prioritize both showing and noticing kindness all around us.

Themed Christmas Eve Presents

Give special Christmas Eve presents each year following a chosen theme, such as pajamas and slippers, ornaments, crayons, coloring books, or a new regular book.

Cut Down Your Own Christmas Tree

Make a family tradition out of cutting your own Christmas tree.

Don’t forget to include some hot cocoa, and if you’re lucky, engage in a fun snowball fight! Decorate the tree together with your favorite music in the background and a big bowl of popcorn.

Create Blessing Bags

Create blessing bags for the homeless.

Amidst the presents, bows, Santa, cookies, and beautiful lights, it’s crucial to remember that Christmas is a time of love and kindness. It’s equally important to teach your children the significance of giving back to the community and helping those less fortunate.

Christmas presents are essential, especially for children. However, it’s equally essential to educate your kids that Christmas is also about spreading love and kindness.

Christmas is a perfect opportunity to teach your children about giving back and to lead by example. As a family, put together blessing bags filled with essentials such as hygiene products, gloves, snacks, and water bottles, and distribute them to homeless individuals in need.

This experience is powerful for both your child and yourself.

Attend Your Local Christmas Parade

Many towns host fantastic Christmas parades every year.

They’re a lot of fun and make for an excellent Christmas tradition to enjoy with your family.

Santa and Mrs. Claus are usually present, and there’s often a Christmas lighting ceremony.

If your town doesn’t have one, you’re sure to find similar events in a neighboring town. Do a quick Google search to discover what’s happening near you!

Create Christmas Cards For Soldiers Or Nursing Homes

Soldiers are deployed away from their families during the holidays, elderly individuals in nursing homes are without family to spend the season with, and people in hospitals dealing with illness or recovery need love and support during this time of year, especially.

This tradition imparts valuable lessons in compassion, empathy, and love to your child.

Teach them that they can brighten someone’s world and bring happiness simply by demonstrating kindness. You can’t go wrong with Christmas traditions that emphasize the power of kindness!

Make Chocolate At Home

This is a super fun and easy Christmas tradition to partake in with your children every year!

Make some extras to share with friends, family, and classmates. Add your favorite treats like sprinkles, M&Ms, Reese’s Pieces, or nuts. Consider using this awesome Christmas Chocolate Mold Set (Silicone) to make the process even more enjoyable!

Traditions are the threads that weave the fabric of a family’s history, strengthening the bonds of love and togetherness.

By embracing these new family Christmas traditions, you can create a sense of unity and warmth that makes the holiday season even more memorable and special.

From movie marathons to gingerbread house contests, these traditions will bring joy, laughter, and love to your family’s celebrations, fostering a sense of unity and togetherness that will be cherished for years to come.

So, this Christmas, start some new traditions and celebrate the family’s magic.

Let me know, have you tried any of these family traditions, or are you planning on trying them out this year?
