By purchasing, renovating, and personalizing your house, you&#8217;re setting the stage for countless fun memories with family and friends that will last for years to come. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the years pass by, you&#8217;re likely to cultivate traditions. Whether you embark on canoeing adventures in the Spring, drive a few towns over to watch the leaves change in the Fall, or cook your famous burgers that your kids love in the Summer, these traditions evoke a sense of togetherness and warmth that is at the heart of lake living. At this time of year, with winter in full swing, shared family traditions are often the backbone of this holiday season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To gain insight into how lake homeowners celebrate the holidays with their family traditions, we spoke with two women who live on the lake full time. Tiffany Hernandez, author of the lifestyle blog <\/span><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lakelifestateofmind.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lake Life State of Mind<\/span><\/a><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lives with her husband and teenage son on a lake in Florida. Jenny Block, writer and author of <\/span><em><a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/BeThatUnicornBook\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be that Unicorn<\/span><\/a><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>,<\/em> lives with her wife on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/texas\/lake-livingston\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lake Livingston <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in Texas. Both Hernandez and Block understand the unique joys of lake life and were happy to share a glimpse into their personal winter traditions.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Q: What is your favorite thing to do over the winter holidays at your lake house? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/fire-family-fireplace-campfire-group-friends-bonfire-happy-fire-pit-roasting-marshmallows_t20_oEO70e.jpg\" alt=\"Family sitting around fire pit roasting marshmellows\" class=\"wp-image-11365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/fire-family-fireplace-campfire-group-friends-bonfire-happy-fire-pit-roasting-marshmallows_t20_oEO70e.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/fire-family-fireplace-campfire-group-friends-bonfire-happy-fire-pit-roasting-marshmallows_t20_oEO70e-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/fire-family-fireplace-campfire-group-friends-bonfire-happy-fire-pit-roasting-marshmallows_t20_oEO70e-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Hernandez:<\/strong> One of our favorite things to do on the lake over the winter holidays is to make a bonfire! Living in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/florida\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Florida<\/a>, we have pretty moderate temperatures during the winter and no snow. This allows us to have fun bonfires with hot cocoa and s&#8217; mores. We also pull out our movie screen and projector and watch holiday movies together as a family around the fire. It&#8217;s a blast for sure! Our teenage son also takes advantage of this time of the year and will have his own bonfire with band friends. All the kids love coming here to celebrate the holidays!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Block:<\/strong> The most &#8220;lake life&#8221; thing we do is go to the town&#8217;s little Christmas Parade every year, and they have a chili and gumbo cook-off at our home afterward with the neighbors. I bake all sorts of holiday goodies, and my wife mixes up festive drinks. We celebrate the holidays, and the lake and the kind of friends one makes when living on a lake. We call it &#8220;the lake family&#8221; and it&#8217;s probably the best part of lake living!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Q: How do you use decorations in your lake home this time of year?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1006\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/unicorn-1006x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Jenny Block Be That Unicorn Winter Traditions\" class=\"wp-image-11353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/unicorn-1006x1024.jpg 1006w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/unicorn-295x300.jpg 295w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/unicorn-768x782.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/unicorn.jpg 1120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1006px) 100vw, 1006px\" \/><figcaption><em>Photo courtesy of Jenny Block.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Hernandez:<\/strong>&nbsp; I love decorating our outdoor table with festive decor so people know we want them to utilize both indoor and outdoor spaces. Oh, and decorating our dock makes everything extra festive!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Block: <\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have two Christmas trees in our home at the lake. One is filled with glass ornaments, mostly my longtime collection of Christopher Radio Ornaments, and the other is filled with a marvelously eclectic collection. We love having a more formal tree and a more casual one. And since we have two family rooms, it&#8217;s perfect! It makes the house feel festive. As for the outdoors, we have a new display this year. Since we live at the lake, in a very laid back community, it&#8217;s anything goes when it comes to holiday decorations. Because I have a new book coming out called Be That Unicorn, my wife bought me a giant magical unicorn and put it in the yard with light-up presents, a white tree, and these magic balls filled with light that she made. It&#8217;s outrageous and perfect and so much fun!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Q: Do you have hosting traditions for the holidays? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"564\" height=\"705\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rustic-scene-on-your-table.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas table setting during night with candles next to Christmas tree\" class=\"wp-image-11358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rustic-scene-on-your-table.jpg 564w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Rustic-scene-on-your-table-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><figcaption><em>Photo courtesy of <\/em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Annie Campbell (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BdG97RflB8l\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Annie Campbell<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Hernandez:<\/strong> We are actually having a holiday party tomorrow, and it&#8217;s one of my favorite times of the year to host gatherings with family and friends. Summers in Florida are brutal in terms of the heat and the number of bugs flying around. During the winter, the temperatures drop, making it comfortable outdoors and too cold for the bugs! It&#8217;s an absolutely perfect combination. I love having a bonfire set-up outside to utilize both the indoor and outdoor areas of our lake home. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Block:\u00a0<\/strong> Living on the lake is a different lifestyle because it&#8217;s slower-paced, and our neighbors have friends and relatives who come into town and want to join us for dinner. It&#8217;s fun to have odd, eclectic groups of people over for a holiday meal. I love setting up a layered table with placements on top of table runners that evoke a happy sense of abundance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it&#8217;s setting up a bonfire for the family or embellishing your front yard with unique decorations, there are countless ways to spend the winter holidays with your friends and family at your Lake House.
