Happy November from the Brandon and Lana Team! We are all very excited for the upcoming Holidays and we want to help you and your family make it the best and most special holiday season this year. You may even cultivate traditions that will be celebrated for years to come! We want to talk with you about one of the most fun and bonding activities you can do this holiday season: honoring your family’s heritage! This activity will bring you and your family together and also garner a deeper appreciation for your heritage!
How to Honor Your Family’s Heritage this Holiday Season
One of the biggest traditions across all world cultures is FOOD, of course! Gather everyone in your family to make a traditional holiday treat or meal together. Resources are abundant on the world wide web to look up what kinds of foods and drinks the people from your family’s heritages cook up or bake up during celebrations! And here’s an idea, if you’re looking to enrich your worldly horizons, try making a dish from a different culture that you’d like to learn more about!
Ancestral rituals are another fun and interesting way to celebrate the holidays with a spin this year. If you don’t already know any, look up ways that your ancestors celebrated the holidays at the local library or on the Internet! This is great activity for kids especially to learn about the world and appreciate all of the knowledge we can acquire from doing a little bit of research as a family.
Lastly, share stories! Create a special display in your house with family photos and items that are meaningful to you and your family. During your holiday celebration, encourage everyone to share stories about their lives and about how they have connected to their ancestors during this year’s holiday season. Make sure you have someone take a video or write down these stories so that you can start accumulating family memories for your future generations.
One great thing about the past couple of years is that more and more people are moving to the great state of Colorado to live their lives. This means more and more people with more and more stories to tell. Make sure to ask around to all of your new Coloradan friends about their family heritage and how they celebrate the holidays! Hey, maybe you can even celebrate the holidays together! Post pictures of your holiday celebrations and tag us on Instagram @brandonandlana so we can see all of your holiday fun! And make sure to contact us if you have any questions about the current market. We’re always happy to give you excellent and professional reviews of your opportunities! Have a great November from us at the Brandon and Lana Team!
