Making memories

“MUM, when are we doing the go-into-town-and-pick-a-decoration day,” asked my five-year-old last week. It’s a tradition that’s evolved in recent years — on the first Sunday in December, we bring the kids into the city centre to choose one new Christmas decoration each, then we go for coffee and cake.

It’s easy to organise and doesn’t cost much, but every year it’s one of the rituals they look forward to most. So for the season that’s in it, I asked some parent bloggers to tell me about their traditions, and why building a unique Christmas story for their children is important.
