Your Favorite Holiday Traditions - Page 1

 With the holidays fastly approaching, I thought it might be fun if we all shared some of our favorite traditions we have with our friends or family, or favorite holiday memories.  I'll start with my 2 favorite.  Every christmas since my kids are born they can pick to either make a special ornament or go to the store and pick out a special ornament for the christmas tree and then we date them with the year.  When they are grown and get their own christmas tree I will box up all of the ornaments they have picked over the years (except their first one) and they will have ornaments that are special to them to decorate their own tree with.  To me there is nothing sadder than a christmas tree full of ornaments that don't have memories or sentimental value on them, so this way they will never have a sad tree.  My other favorite thing to do at christmas is about 120 miles from where we live every year there is a christmas light park.  It takes about an hour to go through they do it in the theme of Santa's village.  Durring the summer it is a camp resort so they use the cabbins to make the workshops, and stores and elf's houses etc.  At the end you can stop and tour Santa's workshop and the kids can meet Santa.  We always go to dinner at the same resturaunt on the way up for dinner and even my 18 yr old still looks forward to going.  Yours obviousley don't have to be christmas they can be any holiday.

My favorite holiday tradition was putting the tree up on Christmas Eve.  Santa brought the gifts and did the tree all at the same time.  This is how my parents did it and it was alway so magical on Christmas morning.  My father would flip the light switch on the second floor and you could hear the train running on its track and see the glow from the lights on the tree.  When we got downstairs, it was total awe!  We'd check out the tree and then REMEMBER we had gifts to open.  It's my best childhood memory of Christmas and I carried it on with my own children.

Drinking and fighting, and in that order, literally.

What's the matter with you? I think your brain is going soft with all that comedy you are playing with that young Panda Shepherd.

Never tell anyone outside the Family what you are thinking again.
