Grace! Even in restaurants. Even in fast food joints. Even at picnics. Even if we are eating at a pool party and everyone is at their own blankets or tables, we stop and say grace among the 3 of us. It felt funny when we first started over 17 years ago. Now it would feel simply awkward not to.
Advent wreath - yes!
Also, when we get back from midnight Mass, we place a cupcake with a candle on the family altar, which has been cleaned of the usual stuff and replaced with the creche and a tiny icon of St. Nickolaus. On Christmas morning, we take the cupcake and light the candle, remove the baby Jesus figurine from the kitchen cupboard (stop laughing - its a safe place where we won’t forget where we stored him!) and “process” to the family altar singing Happy Birthday to Jesus. Then our son blows out the candle and lovingly places Jesus in the creche. We ALWAYS do this before we stop for breakfast or open presents. It puts Jesus first.
Family rosary, though we can’t always fit it in. But in a pinch, we light a candle on the family altar and gather to to pray a decade.
When we attend a funeral or wedding or baptism, we bring home the holy card or program or whatever and place it on the family altar to remind us to keep that person in prayer for about a month, sometimes much longer.
Those are the major ones I can think of off-hand but there’s more.
