Well, it seems that we have all been pretty busy with shopping, cooking, baking, planning, partying, etc. I can't believe Christmas is almost here. I wanted to jot down some of my favorite Christmas traditions.
1. Christmas Eve: Old: Every Christmas Eve we open a few gifts: a pair of pajamas and an ornament. We are carrying this tradition on to our kids. I love it. New: Now that our family is growing (8 grand kids in almost 4 years and one on the way) we spend lunch at the Pizza Factory and bowl after at Phat Cats. Such a fun day out.
2. Christmas Day: Old: When I was little, we used to see at least one movie in the theaters, sometimes more depending on what was out. I loved that but haven't done it since I got married. New: My husbands family tradition has always been a big Christmas dinner. Ham, funeral potatoes, green bean casserole, rolls, jello salad and Chocolate Roll for dessert. I am very much looking forward to that.
3. Other Traditions: Seeing Christmas lights(Temple Square, neighborhood lights, etc.), making and frosting sugar cookies, delivering neighbor gifts, lots of Christmas music.
What are your favorite traditions?
