Giving Legacy for the Holidays - Part 2

Recording Holiday Traditions

1. Bring a small voice recorder to your next family holiday gathering.
2. Spend 5 minutes in a quiet spot with each attendee.
3. Ask "What holiday tradition is your favorite and why?"
4. Have each attendee begin his or her portion of the recording by stating his or her name and age.
5. Aggregate all the responses by documenting them in a photo book or via digital recording.
6. Give a copy to each attendee after the New Year.

Remember, this need not be formal or perfect. Capturing the spirit of the moment along with the voices of your loved ones will be a treasured gift that will grow in value over time.
