i love your blog candy!!! My fave tradition is having bbq cum lunch with close friends and families... hugs..xoxo
I'd have to say...my absolute FAVOURITE holiday tradition is that...because my parents got sick of my brother and I waking them up at 5am or 6am on Christmas morning and we often had my dad's family Christmas on Christmas Eve and would get home late...we started to open our stockings at midnight on Christmas Eve (which is actually Christmas morning)...then it evolved into getting takeout with my grandma and doing our stocking opening afterwards, but, now that we're grown up...I have my man's family dinner on Christmas Eve but, we STILL open stockings at my parents house when we're done there...Maybe it's my favourite because stockings are always a surprise and I usually decide on my own presents...lol...I'm not a control freak...am I?
I would love to cook for people, have a little get together. One Christmas, I cooked for 40pax, it was great.
My husband and I love to watch the twinkling lights of our Christmas tree for the month, in the dark and marvel at it. We prepare and attend Mass on Christmas day :)
Wishing your brother a very happy birthday!!
hmmm..... I don't really have any favourite holiday tradition... hehe.. it's alright :) I just wanna comment for fun! Don't count me in for the giveaway :D
Hugs!
My favorite tradition, is one we started about 9 years ago. Before we put away the decorations, I print up personalized sheets that have some "highlights" of each family member's year.We each "wrap up" the year with what we each remember the most (we don't share it...it's a quiet time project). We fold them up and put them in a stocking. The "reveal" is the next year, when the decorations are pulled out again. It really helps us put into perspective how far we've come. It has been funny and teary at times...a very special moment to share with each other. Thanks for the opp. to win! ;)
My favorite holiday traditions have changed through the years as I've gone through life. But in our small family, I finally gave the decorating of the family tree over to our sons. I get the boxes down from the attic, set them out in the the family room and begin to unwrap each ornament. The boys will take one at a time and either remember where the ornament came from or stop to hear the story of each one...it is a precious walk down memory lane and has taken the stress off me to do it all!
Merry Christmas, friend. May there be new traditions for you and yours.
My fave tradition is to take out my tiny white Christmas tree. It was handmade by a dear friend whom I've lost touch with. It reminds me of school days when we gave each other presents. I love that it fits nicely in a garbage bag lol...I literally take it out, plug it in and it lights up. :) The perfect lazy girl's X'mas tree.
My fave tradition is playing board games on Christmas Eve. Sooo much fun!
My godmother gave me a special ornament every year growing up and now I am doing that for my godchildren too:)
love that you are celebrating your brother's birthday with blog candy!
