Where are my military spouses at?!
This will be our first major holiday without him here. What are some Christmas traditions I can do this year to make the girls have an extra special holiday while missing their dad?

The holiday season can be particularly challenging for military families, especially during deployments. Engaging in meaningful traditions can help create a sense of connection and joy for children missing a parent. Consider incorporating activities like decorating a deployment wall with photos and memories, crafting holiday cards to send to their deployed parent, or setting up a virtual holiday dinner. You can also create a 'Kiss from Dad' jar filled with notes or small gifts to be opened each day leading up to Christmas. Activities like movie nights with holiday classics or baking special treats can also establish a festive spirit. Involve the kids in planning unique celebrations, like a themed gift exchange or a holiday scavenger hunt around your home. Sharing these traditions on platforms like Lemon8 can offer support and inspire other military spouses to keep the holiday spirit alive despite transitions. Every tradition, no matter how small, can help weave a tapestry of support and love essential during these times of separation.
