5 Family Christmas Traditions

Christmas is such a fun time and with the focus on family, celebration and making memories it is nice to add some magical family christmas traditions to build the excitment and add to the magic of the season. Here are my top picks for christmas traditions to start or build on:

1 – Watch a Pantomine

This is one I have carried forward from my own Childhood. For me Panto represents fun, laughter and family time. As a family we try to go on Christmas eve and make it as magical as prossible. My girls are teenagers now but we continue this christmas tradition still and this year are heading off to The Cresset in Peterborough to scream and shout at the Dame in true christmas style. ‘Oh yes I am’.

2 – Make Gingerbread House

This is a tradition I brought back from the christmas I spent In Canada. It’s such a fun way to spend time with the kids getting creative and munching on the sweets. If your baking skills leave a little bit to be desired (like mine) then you can buy kits ready to build in stead.

3 – Christmas Lights Drive by

One christmas tradition I have fond memories of from my childhood is driving around the local towns and looking at all the lights and decorations. I recall some wonderfully decorated homes and it really was one of my christmas hightlights.

4 – A Christmas Eve Box

This is a christmas tradition that appears to be on the rise. A gift box filled with things for Christmas eve, Examples of things i’ve seen to go in the box include a christmas DVD, raindeer food, New Pj’s and hot chocolate treats. Iced Rose by Hannah does amazing Chocolate Bombs which would be a perfect box filler. I never had a Christmas Eve box but still look forward to my fresh fluffy PJ’s on xmas Eve.

5 – Christmas Photos

Sleaford wedding photographer

Slice of Life Photography, Sleaford wedding Photographer, had the privilege of capturing Mr and Mrs Cooper’s special day.

Rachel and Ray’s wedding had been in my diary for such a long time that by the time I was final able to capture their magical day I felt like I was working with old friends. Rachel and Ray have quiet the love story, having been together many years earlier, parting company and then finding love once more! Like many couples their day had been re-sceduled more than once due to the Covid Pandemic but when the day finally arrived it truely was a day to remember.

The wedding day started in the lovely Morton Church, followed by a fantastic reception at Sleaford Golf Club. The Bride was accompanied by 3 beautiful Bridesmaids and 1 flowergirl, and couples gorgous boy was the loveiest page boy. The church was full to bursting with wonderful friends and family that had joined the couple to watch them exchange vows and celebrate their day.

We were able to take advantage of the wonderful autumn weather to capture a mixutre of relaxed and formal portraits of the couple both at the church and around Sleaford Golf Club! And once again a gloroious sunset allowed for some wonderful extra portrats.

Mr and Mrs Cooper added a 2nd Photographer to their package meaning that Lisa from Nix Pix Photography was on hand to capture some extra moments too.

Sleaford Golf Club provided a fantastic sit down meal for all the guests and the formalities were rounded off with the first Dance and a wonderful father and daughter dance. The Love and happiness throughout the day was clear for all to see.

Thank you Mr and Mrs Cooper for choosing me to capture your Day, Here is your highlights.
