Book Description

Let's Make a Memory Series August 16, 2004
There’s something tender, sacred and very special about family traditions. Some are inherited from past generations, and some are born within your own family. Either way, traditions create closeness and seal the ties that bind families together.

In Creating Family Traditions, Gloria Gaither and Shirley Dobson share their own ideas that will help make meaningful, long-lasting memories throughout the years to come. It’s packed with easy-to-do, fun-filled activities for holidays and special occasions through all the seasons of the year, and can be enjoyed by all, from toddlers to grandparents. This is the second book in the Let’s Make a Memory series.

Story Behind the Book

We believed that the best memories aren’t necessarily made of grand plans, vacation budgets or whole weekend outings. Indeed, the best memories are often made of delight in silly, simple things, and the most precious moments are just that – only moments: a hug, a tickling match, a pillow fight, a surprise stop for ice cream, or a detour from the ordinary to see the stars. This collection of ideas is meant to be just that – ideas. They may make you think of even better ways to create traditions, but these are places to start. May we all hold each other a little more closely and remember “home” a little more fondly because of ordinary days made holy by the sacrament of loving.

5.0 out of 5 stars Give your children beautiful memories that will last forever!, December 30, 2006
By 
This review is from: Creating Family Traditions: Making Memories in Festive Seasons (Let's Make a Memory Series) (Hardcover)
Love, love, LOVE this little book! Divided up into seasons (beginning with Spring), this little book is chock-full of wonderful ideas for creating new family traditions in your home that your kids will cherish for a lifetime and will draw your whole family closer together and closer to God. This book is well-written and full of great illustrations! It is deeply spiritual - Scripture verses are scattered throughout and there is an overall awareness of the Church calendar - without ever being preachy. It covers every possible "holiday" in all four seasons, including a few surprises like The Last Day of School and Grandparents' Day! My hands-down favorite is the Birthday Party for Jesus - a hit with my kids! Why not have a birthday cake for Jesus on Christmas Day?!? What better way to teach children the REAL meaning of the season?!? A wonderful part of childhood is all the beautiful memories you have forever, and this book will help you create new and wonderful memories in your children's lives. Highly recommend!

This review is from: Creating Family Traditions: Making Memories in Festive Seasons (Let's Make a Memory Series) (Hardcover)
I like this book a lot. There are a lot of great suggestions that you can use with your children for each holiday--some of these things you may already do, but there are others I had never thought of before. Nice ideas.
