National
Family was first proclaimed by President Nixon in 1972. It is recognized
November 20 – 26 and is all about celebrating family. This is a great
opportunity to express gratitude and enjoy those who you consider family.
Below are 5
ways you can celebrate National Family Week.
·
Have
a family movie marathon – is there a favorite movie or collection of movies that
you like to watch during the Holiday season? Start watching them now.
·
Have
a family sports carnival – if your family is anything like mine, I’m sure you
can find something around the house to include in your carnival. We have a
basketball that needs air in it, a football that is rarely used (dormant in a
corner), and a tennis ball tucked inside of a roller skate.
·
Make
a special family breakfast
·
Hold
a family game night – although my sons are older they still enjoy the thrill of
a family game night. My younger son came home from college one weekend and
said, “Ma, I have a new game that we need to pay.” He proceeded to demonstrate
the game to me. He read a phrase from one of the game cards, except he was speaking
in a garbled tone, then asked if I could understand what he was saying. My son
finally told me that the game is called Incoherent, and I was supposed
to guess what he was saying.
·
Be
active together – take a walk through a park, your neighborhood, or a downtown
area. It doesn’t matter where you go, get out and breathe in fresh air.
Celebrate
your family this Holiday season by spending time doing more of the things you
enjoy.

you add to the list of ways to celebrate National Family Week?
