Seven Great Easter Traditions For Your Family
By Audrey Sneddon

Easter is a season that is filled with lots of love, rejuvenation and abundance, which is why there are a lot of Easter traditions in existence today. This is how the past and future generations of your family are connected to one another. Plus, these Easter traditions provide meaning to this holiday through a sense of ritual and comfort. Furthermore, they are able to create and preserve a very special time.

Some Easter Traditions You May Enjoy

Here are some Easter traditions that your family may enjoy this year:

Make a kindness wreath to hang on your doorway. Each family member can then have ten or more bright, spring colored ribbons the week before Easter. Then, each time that someone does something kind for someone else that week, they can tie a ribbon onto the wreath.

Have the children draw something special to show what Easter means to them. These can then be displayed before being stored for the next year.

You can create a Garden Journal by covering a small notebook with spring patterns. In this journal, you can then document the process that you go through to create a family garden this year. Of course, you will want to include plenty of photos, information about their favorite flowers and even some pressings of these flowers.

Take some time to fill up an Easter basket with cheerful messages, handmade cards or simple gifts before anonymously leaving it on a friend's doorstep.

Make a video or audio tape of your children singing a fun seasonal song like "Here Comes Peter Cottontail." This can make a treasured memento for you to share with family members and friends who do not live close to you.

Give each of your Easter dinner guests a small piece of paper so that they can write down a special Easter message. Then take a picture of each guest and save the paper with their photo in a small photo album.

Children enjoy coloring Easter pictures and making handmade Easter cards to send to their family and friends. You could even turn this into a party and have guests over to make their own Easter cards. One great goal to have is that of mailing out at least 5 Easter cards this year to those people with whom you would like to rejuvenate a relationship.

Hopefully, you will enjoy some of these wonderful Easter traditions with your family this year.
