This season, the camera hasn't been out much. So I'll share with you some of the traditions our family enjoys. The following is taken from an assignment Ally had, compiling a list of her own family's holiday traditions. She was able to share this with her class during her holiday party:
The day after Thanksgiving, our holiday season begins. We put up and decorate our Christmas tree and try to put out all our decorations; like our blow-up snowman outside and our Rudolph stocking holder and nativity set inside.
Me and my dad always beg my mom to make Christmas bread. It’s a delicious type of bread that is topped with icing. We try to get mom to make it as many times as possible.
Me and my sister ALWAYS dance and listen to Christmas music. Our family loves Christmas music!
On December 14th, we start our 12 days of Christmas surprise. Each day, until Christmas we leave a gift on a persons door step and cross our fingers they won’t see us. By leaving gifts, we hope the person or family will feel happy and enjoy the surprises we leave them.
On December 24th we get to see family; grandparents, great grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles. We eat dinner, dessert and have lots of fun together.
When we get home it’s time to leave out cookies and milk for Santa and feed for his reindeer.
The next morning we eat orange rolls, which is a yummy tradition my Great Grandma started when my mom was a little girl.
Christmas is our family’s time to share fun, laughter and happiness.
Here's a pic of the girls and I....Jeremy can be a BIG GRINCH when it comes to getting his picture taken. He sure did look handsome in his sunday clothes...but I guess you'll have to take my word for it ;-)
