There’s something magical about beginning a tradition that becomes yours as a couple — something you look forward to year after year. This season, intentionally choose one or two simple rituals that celebrate your love story and slow down the rush of December.
Here are a few meaningful tradition ideas to spark inspiration:
1. A Year-in-Review Ornament
Choose (or make!) a special ornament that symbolizes something you accomplished or shared this year. Over time, your tree becomes a timeline of your love.
2. A Holiday Breakfast for Two
Start one December morning with a slow breakfast — cinnamon rolls, coffee, candles, and an unhurried moment to be together.
3. A “Giving Night” Tradition
Pick one night to give back together. Volunteer, sponsor a family, or donate items. Shared generosity bonds couples in incredible ways.
4. A Cozy Countdown Night
Choose a night each week leading to Christmas for a cozy activity: holiday movies, reading together, or filling out a page in your Two Hearts – A Love Story journal.
5. A Love Letter Exchange on Christmas Eve
Write each other a heartfelt letter and read them by the tree. A tradition that becomes more meaningful with every passing year.
Traditions don’t need to be elaborate. The best ones are the intentional ones. The ones that bring you closer, year after year.
