This DIY New Year’s Eve Time Capsule is a fun new family tradition you can enjoy each year on the last day of the year.
New Year’s Eve is such a wonderful time to think back over the year.
I love remembering my favorite memories with my family, looking over pictures of how much our son has grown, thanking God for our blessings and the lessons we learned, and dreaming about the year to come.
So I thought it would be fun to create a New Year’s Eve Time Capsule that we could add to every year.
This year I added a few pictures from the year, along with one of our Christmas family photos, a bag of “treasures” my son found on one of our last walks on our property before we sold our house, and a letter to our future selves sharing a little bit about our year in 2023.
My plan is to pull it out each New Year’s Eve, look over the special items that were kept safe from previous years, and add a few new things along with a new letter.
And in the years to come I might have our son (and any future children) help me embellish the box a little bit more each year too.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Philippians 4:8 NIV
