Home | Home & Family | Holidays Bringing families together can be especially challenging during the holiday season. Most families, over time, have developed their own Christmas and holiday traditions, traditions which children find comforting. When one new family is formed from two, a clash of traditions and holiday habits can arise, if holidays aren't celebrated with special care. In the previous family home, a child may have been accustomed to the family gathering to decorate the Christmas tree, right after Thanksgiving. In the new family home, that task may be put off until mid-December, leaving a child to wonder if there will be any tree at all under which Santa Claus can leave his treasures. It can be difficult to change the way holidays are approached, since family traditions for Christmas, especially, are often passed down from one generation to the next, and not one wants to break those family traditions. Parents need to be aware of their children's needs during the holiday season. When two families are brought into one, and stepbrothers and stepsisters are suddenly created, then it's probably wise for parents to plan ahead, with all of their children, for the holiday season, and to discuss how the Christmas celebrations should occur. It's possible that not everyone in the newly formed family can spend the holidays together, that children alternate their holidays with their other parents. This can be stressful for everyone, so parents be sure that all of the children feel as though they are loved, wherever they spend their holidays. Communication is always the key to maintaining family harmony, and that's never more true than it is during the holiday season. Children need to know that they are loved and wanted, wherever they are. They need to know that Santa can find them, to deliver his toys, wherever they may be spending Christmas Eve. New holiday traditions take time to take hold. But, even newly formed families can create their own traditions, and once established, they can be as strong as any traditions, even those passed down through generations of nuclear families.
