Christmas traditions are comforting and provide us with a feeling of nostalgia. While most traditions rarely change, there are a few that have evolved over the years. Here are some traditions you may want to bring back or try this year.
Christmas trees
Christmas trees are a long standing tradition but how they have been decorated and what types are used have changed tremendously over the years. Families used to decorate trees with popcorn and berries they strung themselves. This tradition, while still used on occasion, has changed to using handmade or store bought ornaments.
âWhen I was a child we would string popcorn and cranberries and hang them on the trees outside for the birds and squirrels to enjoy as a Christmas treat,â Meredith Rangel said. âWe never used it inside but I loved stringing it and pretending I was making gifts for the animals.â
