The weather has been dropping from our familiar temperatures of 90 degrees to a shocking 60 to 70 degrees, signifying a new season is upon us: the holiday season. Despite new surprises each year followed by new trends in the festive season, it is clear that one thing will always stick with us throughout the years: our holiday traditions.
One thing almost all of us anticipate throughout the entire year is this magical season of gift-giving and the joy of spending time with family and friends, creating new memories. However, how everyone celebrates this season of joy can vary from family to family.
