Catholic Traditions - Family Rituals - Holiday Fun - Feast Celebrations -  Customs

Lunch Box Surprises:

Fill a homemade "lunch box" with small wrapped presents for a child in the hospital. Opening each present will be the highlight of his day!

Indoor Mailbox:

Make an indoor mailbox to put by the door. This is the place for anything that needs to go out in the mail or back to school. Have each family member make a habit of checking this mailbox before leaving the house.

Tooth Fairy Treats:

When the tooth fairy comes to your home, add a special touch by spraying the coins with hair spray and then sprinkling them with glitter. You may also want to sprinkle a little glitter on the window ledge and bed. (May sound a little messy... but it is worth it)!

Pass-It-Along Letter:

For families that live in different areas of the country or world, try a pass-it-along letter. Write a newsy note and send it to the first relative on your list. He reads your note, adds one of his own, and passes it on to the next relative, who does the same thing. Each person that receives the letter must add a note and mail it to the next person within 5 days. When it finally gets back to you, discard your old note and replace it with a new update.

Some of these traditions were taken from "A Book of Family Traditions" by Jayne Reizner
