Celebrate Traditions
New Year’s Eve with family and friends remains a celebration like none other. Little ones enjoy staying up late, making noise, and gobbling up some scrumptious snacks!
Sneak in Learning
As parents, it is wonderful to sneak in learning opportunities while our kids have fun. Celebrating the New Year is a perfect time to do just that. After all, New Year’s Eve has been an occasion for celebration since the start of recorded history!
By teaching your kids about the holiday’s history and explaining why people celebrate, you can ensure they understand its significance.
You might start by explaining that ancient Babylonians celebrated it 5,000 years ago by honoring their gods with special ceremonies. It was believed that the successful completion of these rituals would help ensure a happy and prosperous new year.
Fast-forwarding to modern times, when New Year’s Eve celebrations have become more festive than religious, you can explain how it has become more about having fun with friends and family and looking forward to what this new year will bring.
By helping your children understand why we celebrate each year, you can sneak in some learning while making memories that will last for years to come. With a bit of creativity and a lot of good cheer, you’re sure to make this New Year’s Eve one to remember!
