As the years continue to pass, people are increasingly changing the way they celebrate their holidays.
Gone are the days when people confined themselves to traditional holidays headlined by lots of food and the coming together of extended families.
People are now warming up to Western mannerisms and going for the most convenient options.
However, there are still those holiday traditions stuck in everyone’s hearts.
Kenyans.co.ke takes a look at some of them.
Family Bonfires
The countryside offers a lot of resources for family activities.
From burning a bunch of wood to a refresher at a side table, and with the flow of tales, you can keep yourself entertained as a family by just watching the fire burn.
This can also be done indoors near the fireplace as family members embark on watching a movie.
Church Sessions Together
While many people start skipping church as they become old and develop other interests, it still sticks as the backbone of Christianity that a church service can do a lot of good in this festive season.
Christmas and church go hand in hand since the idea is to celebrate Christianity.
So, attending church together is one of the oldest traditions that you and your family can enjoy.
Cooking
Cooking is a must-do thing for most anyway, during a festive season.
When everyone in the family including dads plays their part in preparing a festive meal, that is one of the ways to turn back the clock and celebrate Christmas the old-fashioned way.
Parks and Picnic
Kenya has a lot of breathtaking natural sites which remain largely underexplored.
For most families, wildlife parks are a popular choice.
There are plenty of options ranging from Nairobi National Park, Impala Park in Kisumu, and Diani Beach in Mombasa.
Almost every city and town in Kenya has a natural site where families can have a picnic and enjoy quality time.
New Years Eve
It is the biggest festivity not only in Kenya but also around the world.
Numerous activities come with New Year celebrations ranging from the countdown, bonfires, night parties, and family sessions.
This is a tradition that has long been there, and even if times change, it will still be observed with the same enthusiasm.
