Sadie Robertson Huff on Importance of Christmas Traditions: ‘Hope for the Future’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Sadie Robertson Huff and her grandmother, Chrys Howard, discussed the importance of family traditions, especially during the Christmas season, on the “WHOA That’s Good” podcast.
“For me traditions are the things that say to your family, ‘this is my family,’” Howard began. “[It] gives kids a security, that gives them a hope for the future, that gives them so many things. If their world is kind of falling apart, say a kid’s away at college and it’s finals and things are not where they should be in their brain, they can take themselves to ‘oh wait in a week I’m going to be at Grandma’s house and we’re going to be eating’ whatever they eat for their that’s their tradition. So, traditions can be things as big as our family goes to the beach every year or it can be as little as one thing.”
“That’s what traditions do. Whether they’re big or small, they bind us together and give us our hope for the future and our promises and our love for each other,” she continued.
“For me, times where I’ve just had a hard year, a really busy year and like over the past few years I’ve been so busy with work and things, but I know like I am not going to miss Mama’s brunch and the Christmas tradition at your house [and] talent show,” Sadie said. “I’m not going to miss those things because those are things that are so valuable to me and matters so much to me.”
In 2016, Huff shared a little more about what their family talent show involves.
“We go from house to house to house and then we end up at a house, normally my grandma’s house, and we do a talent show. Each family has to bring a talent…or do a skit that involves something that happened during the year,” she explained. “Super fun, super creative, and I love it!!”
The rest of her family will also give a behind-the-scenes peek at some other Robertson family Christmas traditions in their new special, A DUCK FAMILY CHRISTMAS.
