Keeping connected to our community is super important to us. We are always looking for ways to make new friendships with those in our neighborhood. Lately, I have also been thinking a lot about traditions that we start this year during the holidays for family now that baby Ollie is with us. Many of my favorite memories from when I was little was simple traditions that we could look forward to during special times of year.
I originally was only thinking about 'what could we do this Christmas season'; however, my sister sent me this last week and isn't it the cutest! I did not grow up in a neighborhood when I was little, but more in the middle of cornfields, so the idea of "boo-ing" our neighbor was new. Once I read through the directions on the Happiness is Homemade blog, I knew it was a great way to start the holiday traditions early.
The rules are simple. First, you place a “We’ve Been Booed” sign in your front window so to alert your neighbors that you have already been booed. Next, pack up two baskets of goodies along with a copy of the sign and deliver them secretly to two other neighbors who hadn’t been booed yet. It's that easy.
Dusty, Ollie, and I have been going on nightly walks this week with the gorgeous weather and since our neighborhood hasn't "booed" before, we are spreading the candy cheer each night. It is simple especially with this great printable from Happiness is Homemade. I can’t wait to see her signs up on everyone’s windows and doors, and I thought I might share the fun with you too!
Does your neighborhood do anything like "We've Been Booed"? I would love to see some pictures!
