Most people have Christmas traditions. Some are started on purpose, some just kind of create themselves. I'd love to read about everyone else's Christmas traditions, so here are some of ours:
*We do the Jesse Tree on the days leading up to Christmas.
*On Christmas Eve, we go to our church's Christmas Eve service, and then we visit We Care Park. For those of you who have not been there, it is a group of houses on the north end of Kokomo who decorate like crazy and create a little Christmas park that you can drive through or walk through. Plus there is a little garage where they serve hot chocolate and cookies. All of the proceeds go to a local charity, and it's entertaining on many levels (lots of people watching, too), so we try to never miss it.
*Watching Christmas movies. Our favorites: Elf, Christmas Vacation, The Grinch (old version), and A Christmas Story. Of course I love Smokey Mountain Christmas, starring Dolly Parton, but David doesn't share my love of all things Dolly. Go figure.
*Each year we buy a Christmas ornament that has a picture frame in it. That way, every time we decorate the tree we can relive each year through the photos (insert little emotional sigh for Christmases gone by).
*We drive all over tarnation to see other Christmas lights. Who doesn't love the ones synced to music?? Come on!
*Eating my dad's rocky road fudge. And lots of other snacks/cookies/treats/etc.
*Adopting a family to help.
*Wittenbach Christmas (a subject for a whole other post)
*Reading the Christmas story on Christmas morning.
What are your traditions??
