Children Friendly Holidays And What They Mean To Families

By Rob Shand


We celebrate a number of different holidays through out each year and almost all of them are children friendly holidays. The reason the holidays are for our children is because as adults we have had our turn at being the children celebrating holidays and enjoying all the excitement. It is now time for us, as parents to give our kids holidays that they will enjoy and remember for years to come. Our children have a lot of fun during these holidays but they also learn valuable life lessons.

Well that is simple they learn the life lesson that giving is so much better than receiving. Of course as kids they do not realize this, all they know is that they want gifts and they do not want to give gifts to anyone else. Some of us are lucky enough to have kids that have a kind heart and learn early on that giving is better than receiving.

Christmas is probably one of the most kid friendly holidays that we celebrate. Our children wake up on Christmas morning and rush to the Christmas tree to start opening gifts and digging through their stocking full of goodies. Easter is another favorite holiday for children. Kids love getting to dye Easter eggs and then have an Easter egg hunt. They get to dress up in their nicest clothes and get their Easter baskets the Easter bunny left behind for them.

The whole family can enjoy Easter together. Watching your children as they race around trying to find all the hidden Easter eggs is an amazing sight. That is an innocent and pure moment in your child's life. Now we move on to yet another child friendly holiday which would be Halloween. Kids love to pick out their costumes and get dressed up as someone or something different. Trick or treating is also a lot of fun for the kids but as parents we must be careful. There are people in this world that would hurt our children if they had the chance. We have to supervise them closely on this holiday.

When treat or treating be sure to stay in a neighborhood where you know the neighbors. Churches are even starting to have trunk or treats where kids go around to different cars in a church parking lot and get candy from the members of the church.

This is much safer than walking dark streets with your children at night and asking strangers for candy. We tell our children to never take candy from a stranger and to never go to a strangers home but on Halloween we make an exception, why is that?

Hanukkah is a holiday that Jewish kids celebrate it last for eight days and eight nights. They get a gift each night of Hannukah. They celebrate by lighting the hanukkiyah, it is lit every night for eight nights. A popular game children play during this holiday is spin the dreidel.

They also feast on fried foods during the holiday because this holiday is to celebrate the miracle of oil. So as you see there are many different types of children friendly holidays. As parents we have to do our part to make sure that the kids have a great holiday. Even when we can not give much in the way of gifts we can still do other things to make it a special holiday. Most kids would agree that Hanukkah and Christmas are their favorite holiday.
