Every family has some sort of tradition during the
holidays. Even if your tradition is to
not have traditions, that’s a tradition.
Depending on which side of the family we are with determines what our
Christmas will look like. Thinking about
the holidays and our families I wonder what our family traditions will be. Will we open gifts on Christmas Eve or
Christmas Day? Will we have a certain
menu for Christmas that we have every year?
Will we have a tree decorating tradition? As I think about all the traditions that are
out there it makes me excited to think about what I want to do with our
children. My sister and I always take a
picture in front of the tree, which is fun to look back on.
Another one of my favorite traditions was to
make and decorate cookies with my mom and sister. One of Adam’s favorite traditions is on
Christmas Eve he would exchange gifts with his other brothers. I remember one year we made a birthday cake
for Jesus on Christmas. I think
traditions are good, but also adding in new traditions can also be fun. This will be Adam and I’s last Christmas “just
the two of us.” And since our families
are so far and I am so pregnant, we will be staying home and celebrating in our
own home. Maybe we’ll even imagine what
our future Christmases will look like.
What is your favorite Christmas tradition?
