When you spend the years blending traditions you may forget who recommended the best ideas for the holiday.

The menu items.

The must watch movies.

The past times.

The sites you visit.

The ways you start the holiday, from pre-planning to the day of it is best when you focus on blending traditions. Choose the ones that are the best of the best from each side of the family and invent your own, too. Every year, you can add to it. No need to stick to one thing or another…the more the merrier is always a good policy.
