Millennials Share Their Most-Treasured Holiday Traditions

Millennials Share Their Most-Treasured Holiday Traditions

At the heart of many of our favorite things about the holiday season — comfort food, marathon Christmas decorating sessions, cheerful holiday movies and giving (or receiving!) the perfect gifts — there’s often one common theme: tradition. The holidays may not bring a sentimental tear to your eye, but you’re still bound to do at least some reflection before the end of the year about the rituals that are most meaningful to you. Thanks to the anonymous social chatter app Yik Yak, we’re taking a peek at the holiday traditions that millennials totally heart.
