Holidays = family get-togethers.
Family get-togethers = all generations from one family coming together.
This is an amazing opportunity for your children to interview their grandparents. Not only will your children get to know their grandparents on a new level, but they will also learn about where they come from and their culture. This will become an amazing memory all of you will remember and cherish for a lifetime!
You can go about this a few different ways. You can go the traditional route; sit down with pen and paper (or laptop/iPad), ask questions directly and immediately write down the answers. In my opinion, an even better way is to capture this memory on video. It is so easy now a days to record something, so why not?! I would suggest also typing up the questions and answers after just to have a hard copy.
