It's Christmas and New
Year season again!
Create happy
memories for
your family
Agood life they say, is a
collection of happy
memories. This is
because memories are the
only thing that don't change
when everything else does.
Every Homemaker deserves
good memories for herself
through her family especially
in this season having played
her roles from the beginning of
the year till the Ember months
signalling the celebration
season and the end of the year.
The word of God affirms in the
Bible that men should count
their blessings, name them
one by one and see what God
has done for them. Doing this
is awakening their memories
which will definitely burst out
joy inside of man.
Creating family memories is
essential this season because
the memories we make with
our family is everything. A
recent research shows that
families who spend time
together share a strong
emotional bond because
spending time with family
reflects a sense of belonging
and enhances communication.
Children in such environment
too is said to be less likely to
have behavioral issues.
Since you can not create
memories without planning,
here are a few things you can
begin to look at to create
lasting memories for you and
your family this Christmas and
New Year season.
Organise a phone off fun
day.
Technology has robbed
many families of the best
moment they are supposed to
have together. That is one of the
reasons why family values are
eroded and people don't value
family members again. Family
get together should be the first
contact for children to learn
most important value of how to
relate with people before
learning to relate with people
outside the family. Children will
have the opportunity to learn
and unlearn.
What happens now in every
gathering is that everyone
comes together, takes
something to eat and keeps
busy with their gadgets on
Social media platforms such as
Facebook,Whatshapp,
Instagram, Twitter, just to
mention a few. People now loose
interest in family gatherings
because there are no memories
to remember. Plan a two to
three hours family fun time and
strictly without phones. Get a

camera to take photograph
during the period.
Few things to do to have fun
Let it be a cocktail party
where there is more than
enough to chew and drink.
You may also organize
competitions between family
members such as card or board
games which involve as many
members as possible.
Monopoly, Chess and Ludo are
great fun games too. Dancing
time with rewards will also add
fun to the get together. This is
one of the best things you can
do when you are with your
family. Get some musical
instruments and dance to the
beats of some wonderful music
and lyrics. Do not forget to
record videos and photos. This
is very important.
Being with family is the best
thing you can do for spreading
love, laughter, gratitude,
warmth and smiles. The
memories from this type of
family fun time will linger for a
very long time and every family
member will look forward to it
in future. It builds intimacy,
opens communication and
strengthens your family bond.
Keep a date with us in our
next edition. Enjoy your
weekend.
