The Threads That Tie Us Together

Holiday Traditions

Traditions are the gentle threads that weave our past into our present. They return year after year—sometimes grand, sometimes humble—carrying within them the laughter, lessons, and love of generations.

Often, we don’t even remember how they began. A particular dessert. A certain song. A quirky ritual that never made sense but feels wrong to skip. These threads, gathered over time, create a tapestry uniquely ours.

WE REMEMBER THAT WE BELONG

During the holidays, traditions become a language we speak without thinking. We gather around familiar scents and sounds, guided almost instinctively by the rhythms we learned as children. And in these rituals, something magical happens: we remember that we belong.

If your traditions feel scattered or if you find yourself longing for deeper meaning, this season is an invitation. Ask your loved ones which moments matter most to them. Bring back a tradition from long ago. Start something new that feels true to who your family is becoming.

LET THE OLD BLEND WITH THE NEW

Light a candle for someone you miss. Gather everyone at the table and invite them to share a memory. Let the old blend with the new.

Traditions don’t need grandeur. Even the smallest ritual can become an heirloom—passed hand to hand, heart to heart.
