For the next several weeks leading up to Christmas and New Year I want to take the time to share the special traditions and celebrations you do as a family! Please email me at frabv2357@q.com or message me on Facebook if you would like to share! I am also looking for special Holiday recipes you enjoy this time of year!
I will get things started. For the past 10 Christmas's we put the tree up near my birthday (November 14). We started this tradition because years ago we were a young family with little money and little time. My hubby was working full time and going to school and I was working part time and busy with 2 little girls. We didn't have money to go out and have a big dinner or gifts. My hubby would take the evening off from studying, he would order my favorite pizza (Davanni's) for dinner and we would decorate the tree. We would finish off the celebration with ice cream cake, hot chocolate, Christmas movie, and a sleepover under the tree. We have come to treasure this tradition for so many reasons. We can look back now on some of those harder years and rejoice that we have come so far but it also reminds us that in every circumstance you can find joy and contentment.
Sleeping under the Christmas tree is something I started doing 17 Christmas's ago when my Alison was just a little over one year old. My kiddos look forward to this almost more than anything else! Oh, the sweet memories we have made under our artificial tree with twinkly colorful lights and a hodgepodge of ornaments!
What are yours?
~ Be Blessed and be a Blessing~
