For most of us, the holidays are a great time to gather family, but your holiday experiences can be quickly forgotten with time because of the limitations of memory. You might therefore want to think of ways of recording those experiences. One very useful way of recording those experiences is by keeping a holiday journal. An important advantage of keeping a holiday journal is that it allows you to record changes that have happened to you and your family members. As you go through your journal, you’ll see how everybody has grown, the directions they have taken in life, friends who might have joined your family on the holidays and so on. These changes can be recorded by photographs as well.
However, writing about your holiday experiences allows you to record several details about them which a photograph can not. This does not mean that photographs are not important. The best, of course, is for your journal to include both photographs and writing in order for it to be rich in detail.
Another important benefit of a holiday journal is that it can give you an opportunity to appreciate your family members. Perhaps, you have made the mistake that most of us do, namely forgetting how important family members are and taking them for granted. As you read your holiday journal, however, you might feel like you want to reconnect with your loved ones and re-establish your relationship with them.
