These simple Christmas traditions are so easy, you can implement them THIS year!
Have you ever noticed that December seems to move faster than every other month? I think it’s because of the sheer busyness of the season!
The crazy fast pace this time of year is one of the main reasons why my family decided to switch to an every other year rotation for gift giving. We were finding that we weren’t able to do both the gift giving and the holiday traditions with as much intention as we wanted – when they were both crammed into one season.
So now, we buy gifts one year and then focus on our holiday traditions the next! It has been working beautifully for our family.
This year is actually a gift giving year at the cottage – but, I wanted to share some of the simple and clutter free Christmas traditions that our minimalist family has done in the past, PLUS some ideas that we are considering using in the future!
All of these ideas are very simple and easy to implement – and none of them will bring extra clutter into your home.
I hope everyone has a wonderful, peaceful, and blessed holiday season!

What are YOUR favorite simple Christmas traditions?! I would love to hear about them!
Thank you for sharing your ideas for the Christmas season and how you celebrate each year with your family. I hope to pIck up some of your suggestions in the future. Its good to know that you reach out to the less fortunate during this season. Hope you and your beloved family had a great celebration and wishing you a blessed 2023! Looking forward to your next!
Oh my goodness! I adore the every other year gift giving thing.
My siblings and I used to make our own Advent calendars, with scenes from the Christmas story and Bible verses in each little window. Many hours went into those calendars!
It’s just me and the husband. I read him short stories from “Holidays on Ice” from David Sedaris. This tradition would be appropriate for teens on up.
Your channel is such a Blessing to me
We do several things on this list! We also have a few vintage holiday books that are the same ones my grandmother used to read to me. we We like to read them together, even as our kids are entering their teen years. I’m not a huge baker, but we make lots of no-bake holiday treats like popcorn with melted chocolate and crushed candy canes, reindeer food (Chex mix muddy buddies), and potato candy. And we make applesauce ornaments every year.
Thanks for the ideas, I love your videos and your testimony is also a blessing! MERRY CHRIST-mas : )
We like to enjoy some delicious appetizers after the candle light Christmas Eve service.
