CHRISTMAS is known as that special time of year where you can share your memories and spend some time with the people close to your heart.

However, have you ever thought about creating your own traditions that could become what you and your family do every year?

We have listed a few ideas that you can try start this year and hereby create your own Christmas traditions:

Go visit an old age home: Take your family and maybe close friends to an old age home to spend some time with these seniors. Most of the time they are rarely visited and have nothing to look forward to for Christmas.

Make mince pies with little messages underneath: Try to make as many mince pies as you can with your family to give away to the people living on the streets. It may seem very little but the message it carries can help and save a life

Get your projector ready (Christmas movies): Choose some Christmas movies that you could watch at a children’s home. Yes, children love presents and toys that they often receive but leisure time spent with them can make a huge difference. Some, if not most, have never been to a cinema and have absolutely no idea how it feels to be in a dark room with a big screen right in front of them.

Fill a shoebox: Your whole family can fill up a shoebox with lots of exciting treasures that the less fortunate could enjoy. Make sure the box is filled with items that will not only help them but also bring joy and wonderful memories.
