I think I'm the biggest sucker for a good tradition! Coming in at a close second is my Gram, (or as Nathan calls her, GG- Great Gram) She has always made Christmas so special and FUN! I LOVE when the doorbell rings and there is a package from her. Christmas tins overflowing with goodies - her special fudge, English toffee, peanut brittle, and delicious popcorn. Gifts wrapped with love and big bows. Ever since I can remember, we got to open a package, topped with a little bear personally selected for each grandchild on Christmas eve. Inside the gift is always jammies. A few years ago she began a new tradition for all of her great grand babies. She creates a stocking just for them. They are so detailed and I appreciate all her work she does on them especially since she has arthritis in her hands and I know this must be so hard.
Thank you!
It seems like I'm always on the hunt for the perfect tradition to start with my own family. A friend shared this with me and I thought it sounded so fun, (this would especially make good memories for kids). A few nights before Christmas, The family gets their pillows and blankets out and puts them by the Christmas tree. A treasure hunt is planned. In the treasure box are lots of items, such as: a Christmas movie, Christmas books, flashlights, yo-yo's, games, treats- and pretty much whatever else you want. The family goes on the treasure hunt. They spend the evening playing with the items in the treasure box then all fall asleep by the tree. If you have any good traditions- let me know!
