Newly married couples are usually very excited to spend the rest of their lives together. As you grow and learn as a couple, there are many firsts and relationship milestones you will experience and remember for years to come. One of the most memorable “firsts” to look forward to as a married couple is your first Christmas together.
Although you both have family traditions from your side of the family, it’s now time to create your own traditions and memories. Here are a few suggestions on how you can make your first Christmas together extra special:
1 – Sending Christmas Cards
Since it is nearly impossible to send everyone you love and care about Christmas gifts, why not opt for Christmas Cards instead? This can be part of your holiday tradition starting this your first years as a married couple.
2 – Building A Gingerbread House
Work together as a team and build a gingerbread house to commemorate living under one roof as newlyweds. You can get as creative and unique with the house or even turn it into a friendly competition if you want to add some excitement to the new tradition.
3 – Bake And Decorate Christmas Cookies
Who doesn’t love the smell of freshly baked cookies? Free up some time for you and your partner to bake Christmas cookies. Who knows? If you’re good enough, the cookies can become a staple for all future Christmas dinners!
4 – Order Personalized Christmas Ornaments
Always remember the first Christmas you celebrated as a married couple by ordering personalized Christmas ornaments for couples. You can add your names, the year of your first holiday together, or even your wedding day on the ornament to make it extra special.
5 – Decorate The Tree/Home
Don’t stop at just ordering the personalized Christmas ornaments for couples, also make time to hang them up on your very own tree. Most families make it a tradition to decorate the tree and their home for the holidays, you can start doing this too.
6 – Wear Matching Sweaters/Pajamas
It’s a little cheesy, but wearing matching sweaters and pajamas are very cute. Newlyweds have all the reason to be corny and cheesy during their first Christmas together. You’ll never know, this might be the start of a new tradition for both of you.
7 – Hosting A Holiday Get Together
Now that you are officially a married couple, you can start inviting friends and family to your home during the holiday season and make it a tradition. The get together doesn’t have to be on Christmas Eve or Day, it can be the weekend before or after.
As long as you invite your loved ones every year, this can be a holiday tradition everyone will start looking forward to attending.
8 – Volunteer Together
Sharing your blessings during the holiday season is the perfect way to cement your bond as a couple. Volunteering at the local soup kitchen, church, or even an animal shelter can be a special holiday tradition for both of you starting this year.
