Time Capsule
So Christmas is over but the holiday break is not. Most families are looking for something to keep their kids busy and out of trouble. Here is a neat project that goes along with celebrating the New Year. Get your kids together and talk about the past year. Have them discuss what they will remember the most. Then they can decide what to add to the time capsule. I like the idea of having the kids write a kind of diary entry about the year. Then they can write their name on an envelope and seal it shut.
When everything is in the time capsule you can decorate it and label it with the date. Put it away in a safe place until you are ready to open it. Your family can then decide how long to wait to open them. I think 5 years sounds good.
This would be a great New Years tradition for any family. If you make a new one each year you will also have one to open every year after the chosen amount of years has past.

That's a cool idea... our family just might try it over the holiday break. Thanks for the suggestion.

That's a neat idea! I like it. We made a time time capsule when we were first married which was 11 years ago and haven't opened it yet. I think our plan is to open it after 20 years of marriage.
That's a great idea! My daughter has mentioned doing this in the past. Maybe we will give it a try! Thanks!
