Family Tradition Friday-Barb

Twas the Friday before Christmas and the stores are crazy! Are you done shopping or are you finishing last minute? I can't believe how fast the season came upon us! I love everything leading up to the grand finale, but I wish I had one more week to just enjoy it a little more:)

Thank you, to our sweet mentor mom, Barb Anderson for sharing her Christmas traditions with us!  She shares;

1.  Tea lights or candles at each place that are lit at the beginning of the meal.  The first person lights the candle of the person next to him/her and makes a wish or prayer for the New Year.  The match is then passed on to the next person.  When all the candles are lit, we sing Silent Night and then my husband (previously it was my father) reads the Christmas story from Luke.

2.  We always have a Christmas ornament at each place (with a date written on it).  It's fun to remember past Christmases that way when decorating the tree the next year.

 

I love both of them but the first one just brings a tear to my eyes. I can only imagine the beautiful, peaceful scene that must be. Thank you for sharing!

 

I pray you all have a safe spirit filled weekend! Enjoy this fun special time shared with those you love most!

 

~Be Blessed and be a Blessing~
