You know that Meg Cox is the President of the Alliance for American Quilts and the author of The Quilter's Catalog - a Comprehensive Resource Guide, but you did you know that she also authored The Book of New Family Traditions? In fact, Meg just finished writing an expanded/updated edition of her book which will be published in late March 2012. The book is filled with a variety of ideas that will help you build a strong family connection through the use of rituals and traditions. There are ideas to help you celebrate with your children everything from the winter Solstice, to Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa and other important events throughout the year.

For example Meg talks about having your child decorate one plain piece of fabric every year at the holiday. Over time you'll accumulate enough squares to create a quilt that celebrates what was important to the child during that time in his or her life.

Do you have family rituals or traditions that you celebrate during the holidays?
