4 Tips for Creating New and Memorable Holiday Traditions in an Empty Nest

As the holiday season approaches, many parents face the challenge of spending the holidays without their adult children. It can be a difficult adjustment if your children have moved away, have other commitments, or can't make it home for the holidays. However, with some planning and flexibility, it's possible to create new traditions and enjoy the holiday season differently.

Grandparenting 101

I had heard there’s nothing like having grandchildren, but my husband and I had no idea all of ours would arrive so close together. Four of our grands, in fact, arrived in an 18-month span. We went from a family of five to a family of 16 in a matter of no time. We had baby shower after baby shower after baby shower. What a blessing it has become.

Entering a New Season of Life: The Empty-Nest Years

When we enter the empty-nest years, we embark on a new season of life. Our children become more independent and desire to make their own decisions. So, how do we adjust to the empty nest? My husband and I consulted more experienced parents who have traveled this path before us to learn practical ways of navigating these transitional years. We hope these tips enlighten you and give you hope.

Jo Wilhelm

Jo Wilhelm, founder of Connect Home Life and retired wealth management professional, understands the bittersweet mix of grief and freedom that follows life after raising children.

After stepping away from her financial career due to health challenges, she devoted herself fully to family life. When her children moved out and the house grew quiet, she faced the identity shift many empty nest moms experience:

Who am I beyond parenting?
What is my purpose in this next season?
How do I realign my daily life with God's direction?

Her children later married and built lives of their own, but the transition began long before wedding celebrations. The empty nest season arrived in stages — and with it came both gratitude and grief.

Parenting roles shifted. Marriage rhythms adjusted. Faith deepened in unexpected ways.

Today, Jo equips Christian empty nesters with faith-based digital resources, Biblical encouragement, and personal mentoring designed to help them rediscover identity, reignite passion, and realign their lives with God's calling.

Her work centers on helping empty nesters rediscover purpose after the kids leave home — not by starting over, but by stepping forward with intention. Throughout Connect Home Life, Jo shares practical encouragement and honest reflections from her empty-nest journey to help others navigate this season with faith and confidence. See the About section for additional background.
