The best traditions for your first Christmas married are small enough to repeat every year: buy a dated first ornament together, send your first card as a couple, plan the holiday split with both families early, blend one tradition from each side and write each other a letter to open on a future Christmas. Add a surprise love video from your wedding guests, and the season that used to belong to your parents starts to feel like yours.
