Terri Ramsey Beavers We all know that family is important, and it’s important to spend time with them. But what kind of time? The holidays are coming up—and for many people, that means a lot of time spent together with the family. Here are some different ways you can celebrate the holidays and new year. You can get custom greeting cards for your loved ones and do fun activities each holiday.
Christmas
Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. The Christmas tree, Christmas lights and Christmas cards are symbols of this festive time. For Christians, this is a time to celebrate their faith in God. Although Christmas is a Christian holiday a lot of people celebrate it without being religious. They use it as a day to come together, give their children gifts, give things to those less fortunate than themselves and spend a day with family, and loved ones and enjoy their company with lots of delicious food.
Easter
Easter is a religious holiday celebrating Christ’s resurrection, which occurred after his crucifixion on Good Friday two thousand years ago. It is observed by Christians throughout the world and falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following March 21st (the date of the vernal equinox). The word “Easter” comes from Eastre, an Anglo-Saxon goddess whose name means “to shine.” Legend says she was married to Freyr, an elven prince who was sacrificed by Odin during times of war. Like many other pagan customs adopted into Christianity over time, Easter has evolved through centuries of cultural adaptation and remains one of Christianity’s most important holidays today.
Easter traditions vary from country to country but have much in common: eggs dyed red or green (representing springtime), bunnies delivering baskets full of candy or flowers on Easter morning (which some say represent rabbits laying coloured eggs), bonnets worn by little girls in Scotland (symbolising rebirth), chocolates made from marzipan candy paste—these are just some examples that make this springtime festival so delightful! There is so much you can do on Easter, spending time with your loved ones, enjoying easter chocolate, going to church and watching Easter movies.
New year
New Year’s Day is the first day of the year. It occurs on January 1st and usually falls on December 31st in countries that use a Gregorian calendar. New Year’s Eve is the last day of the year and usually falls on December 31st or January 1st depending on which country you are in. Both days have their significance but they also share some common celebrations around the world that include fireworks, parties and dining out with family members or close friends. A lot of families have traditions of things they do for the new year, it could be going out and drinking or staying in with family and watching the fireworks at midnight.
Birthdays
Birthdays are a great time to celebrate with your family. They can be a great time to reflect on the past year and look forward to the future, as well as an opportunity to get together with friends, family and loved ones. It’s important not only for you but also for the people around you that they understand why birthdays are celebrated on different days throughout the year. It is a great excuse to bring the family together for quality time together.
Anniversaries
An anniversary is a celebration between two people who have been married for a year. The family needs to come together to celebrate this occasion because it shows how much time they have spent together and how grateful they are for each other.
The way you can make your anniversary special is by planning something special with your spouse or significant other. You could take them out for dinner, or do something fun like go see the latest movie in theatres or get tickets to go see their favourite band play live at their next concert date. If you want something more traditional, maybe plan an elaborate dinner at home with all of your family members who will be there! Every couple has different tastes so everyone must get what they want from their experience with one another!
With so many different holidays and celebrations to choose from, it’s important to find the one that works best for your family. As long as everyone is happy and having fun together, then there’s no need for anyone to feel left out or excluded from participating in these special events. The holidays can also be a great time to catch up with friends and relatives that you haven’t seen in a while!
