Holiday Traditions
Family traditions… these are what make the holidays so special and memorable.
Maybe it’s that cherished holiday meal with all your family’s favorite recipes, lovingly prepared just as they’ve been for years (and heaven forbid if someone goes rogue and changes the menu!). Or perhaps it’s the tradition of filling your home with festive music and treasured decorations that bring back wonderful memories the moment you walk through the door.
For many of our customers in Mt. Pleasant, backyard birds are a beloved part of their holiday traditions too. 🐦🎄
Have you noticed that you go the extra mile to keep your feeders topped off before family gatherings? Have you seen how the children visiting your home light up as they watch birds fluttering around your yard? Many of our customers tell us their friends and family look forward to seeing the lively bird activity in their backyard year after year. It’s these little things that make the holidays so joyful.
This season, consider starting a new holiday tradition that involves your feathered friends:
🕊️ Scandinavian Tradition for Good Luck: Try a Scandinavian-inspired tradition by creating a feast for your backyard birds. Whether it’s a wreath made of edible seeds, fruit, and suet, or hanging a WBU Seed Cylinder character like Preston the Penguin or Buttons the Snowman from your porch, you can attract beautiful birds while adding festive charm. According to folklore, this tradition brings good luck to your family in the new year!
🦜 Join the Christmas Bird Count: Get the whole family involved in the local Audubon Christmas Bird Count—a 120-year tradition that welcomes bird enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels. This is a great way to explore the natural beauty of our Lowcountry area while contributing to important scientific research on bird populations.
