5 years ago, as Christmas was approaching, I got to thinking. Every year, I put so much time, effort and money into gifts. Not just Christmas gifts mind you but, gifts for all occasions, all year long. It’s mentally exhausting trying to figure out what someone likes, what they already have or what they need.
I asked my children who were approximately, 8 and 6 at the time to name two Christmas gifts they had received the year before. They couldn’t even name one!
At that moment I realized I was going about gift giving all wrong. I’ve always been a lover of family traditions and this year was the year we were going to create a new one!
I decided we were going to start making memories for Christmas, we were going to travel! It could be anytime from November to February and it could be a big trip or a small trip but, it had to be memorable!
The experiences we have had in the past 5 years for Christmas alone have been amazing! I can’t wait to share each one with you here in my blogs! I hope they inspire you to live a life of adventures and memories!
