Create a Holiday Memory Book
 Special things happen during the holiday season. There's something about the magic in the air that causes wonderful moments to happen. Instead of leaving these special times in the cobwebs of your mind, possibly to be forgotten by the time the next Christmas rolls around, put them in writing.
I'm talking about making a holiday memory book.
You have three choices with this idea:
1. Buy a memory book that allows you to fill in the blanks each year. Many of these don't have room for photos and they list out their questions with no spot to add your own.
2. Buy a custom photo book online. Most have a set number of photos you'll get to upload to the book and once it's done, it's done. The memories would be told in pictures and you would need to purchase a new one each year.
3. Create your own memory book. This allows for all family members to add their creative touches and design it just how it should be.
I suggest using a 3 ring binder that can be decorated. You can add picture sleeves, as many as you want, where you want inside. If you're the scrapbooking type, you can add scrapbooking pages with little bits of your real Christmas too. Figure out what questions you want to have answered in the memory book and type them on the computer. Be sure to put a spot for the year at the top.
Some sample questions:
Favorite holiday party attended?
The weather on Christmas day?
Each child's favorite gift this year?
Who came to visit us?
Best cookie eaten during the holidays?
Christmas memories this year?
New ornaments added and who from?
What was happening in the world during this season?
What made you laugh (or cry)?
How was this Christmas different from others?
Print these pages out on heavier paper and punch holes. You could also add page dividers showing the years.
This is a good way to preserve your Christmases for years to come.
