Christmas Traditions

Looking back into the past at Christmas when I was growing up, we had some great traditions.

• We opened our presents on Christmas Eve - not Christmas morning.

• We put up our Christmas tree on the first day of Christmas holidays from school - in the afternoon since we always got off at noon, we always had egg nog and Christmas music blasting.

• When we were pretty little, Mom would make cookies with us, we got to use the cookie cutters and then decorate the cookies.

As Jacqueline and Anderson are getting older, I am excited to start creating happy Christmas tradition memories with them too. 
This year we are staying home for Christmas morning, last year Jackie understood the concept of Santa, but this year, both kids do.  I can't wait to see the look on their faces Christmas morning when the stockings are full and the presents have been delivered.
