Welcoming new traditions

HolidayBlog_2

This time of year is steeped in tradition, and every family has their own set of rituals they honor.

We look forward to grandma’s plum pudding, we anticipate Uncle Jerry’s rambling speech and we plan out the festivities knowing they’ll be great—just like last year and the one before.

There’s definitely comfort in familiar rituals. And while we look forward to the festivities, every holiday can use a yearly update and some fresh thinking—especially when it comes to giving back as a group.

This year, revisit your rituals. Maybe some need refreshing and maybe it’s time to add on some more impactful experiences.
