Making cinnamon rolls. Thank you Mom for teaching us all how to make these and helping these yummy treats become one of our (and our neighbors and extended family members') traditions!
Gingerbread houses. They may be a little smaller than we grew up making, but it's such a great tradition to load up on sugar and make these treats. Candy on the house, candy in my mouth, candy on the house...We love inviting friends over to make these with us.
Acting out the nativity scene while reading Luke 2. Dad was an angel, and the naked baby was a sheep. I wanted him to be baby Jesus, but was told by our 6 yr old director and costumer that he would just get into everything.
Is there any better way to describe the exhaustion of Christmas night after a month of excitement?
What a great time of year for making memories!
I was thinking about this this year. How each year the point isn't to do everything that you have ever liked about Christmas but to repeat something that you loved and try something new.
