So we use his mother's recipe and make home-made sugar cookie dough that my girls can roll out and cut into their favorite Christmas shapes. We often make a party of it and invite friends over to share in the fun of decorating, baking and of course, eating!

It actually made me a bit sad to realize that any traditions that we had for holidays seem to have gone away for the past couple of years since my only child is now a teenager, he thinks those little, sweet things that I wanna do like that is silly. However, it's not a holiday tradition but an event that has become a tradition with us is for the past 3 years there's a Christian concert (between 6 to top Christian performers) that comes through a town about an hour away. So as soon as we get the dates of it, hubby puts in for a day off at work and we book a hotel room. My son goes to school the day of the concert but as soon as he's out, we hop in the car, stop at drive-thru for early dinner and head up to the concert. Hubby drops me off to get in line so we'll be near the front while he goes and checks us in at the hotel. The next day, son is allowed to miss school and we go to a movie at a really nice theater there (leather recliners) and then for a nice lunch before heading back home. We look forward to this each year so of course, we're already planning for next year, lol! I know this sounds like such a silly tradition but it still something that my son enjoys!Angela L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11698008911998044526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649884387624660274.post-27187842401816696522008-10-15T19:52:00.000-07:002008-10-15T19:52:00.000-07:00We enjoy our favorite family tradition on Christma...We enjoy our favorite family tradition on Christmas Eve by having hot chocolate and reading Twas the Night Before Christmas book that was hand made by Grandma Cilla.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649884387624660274.post-75774982340570835382008-10-15T19:50:00.000-07:002008-10-15T19:50:00.000-07:00One of our holiday traditions is a neighborhood bl...One of our holiday traditions is a neighborhood block party...every family brings a dish to pass and we play games from noon to 8PM.

The girls love to put their own spin on where the ornaments should go. Each one tells a story - some came from Christmas presents before, some came from my children's or my own childhood crafty hands, some came from their grandparents as special keepsakes. We love to remember all of that as we turn out the most beautiful spectacle of a Christmas tree. ~ emilytEmilythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14202483203311127986noreply@blogger.com
