Christmas Traditions

One week! It's hard to believe we're so close to Christmas... such an awesome holiday! It will be sort of bittersweet for me this year. Family is such an important part of Christmas and this will be the first year EVER I won't be at my parents' home [we celebrated with them this past weekend (a post will follow once I upload pics)]. I'm excited to begin new traditions with my own family, though.

I've been thinking a lot about how to make Christmas Eve & Christmas special (and, at the same time, maintain WHY it is we're celebrating). Help!!! What are some fun traditions, food, activities that you do with your family???

I'll keep you posted on how our holiday turns out and what traditions we will incorporate to the future Andersen Christmases. Thanks for your help!

Merry Christmas to you and yours! The boys are at such a fun age for great holiday celebrations and traditions. Have you read "The Purpose of Christmas" by Rick Warren? Read it- great ideas on how to keep Christmas meaninful, simple and real!
