Turning Family Stories into a Monthly Ritual

We All Say It at Christmas: "We Should See Each Other More." But the months slip by… What if this year, we really made it happen?

The holiday season is often a time when we promise to make more time for each other, to meet more often, but life, work, and everyday routine pull us apart again. Yet, there’s more than just Christmas to reconnect.

What if this year, we created a precious moment each month? A special meeting around a project as timeless as it is meaningful: writing the biography of a loved one. Imagine it—each month, over coffee, asking questions, discovering untold stories, exploring the past of your parents or grandparents.

It’s not just a moment of sharing—it’s a true intergenerational exchange. For them, it’s a way to reminisce, feel valued, listened to, and offer their experiences to the next generation. For you, it’s a chance to build a stronger bond, understand your roots more deeply, and learn life lessons that aren’t in books, but in their personal stories.

These monthly meetings could become a cherished ritual, a pause in the whirlwind of life to reconnect with those who have so much to pass down. And over the months, you’d see a story unfold—the story of your family, your loved ones—that one day you could offer as an invaluable gift.

So, what’s the first memory you’d want to hear from your loved ones if you started this journey?
