I absolutely love Christmas time! I love everything about the holiday season. As a Christian, Christmas holds a special place in my heart. I am so thankful I serve a loving God who sent his one and only son to be born in a stable, grow up, and then endure death on a cross for ME.
Christmas is truly the most wonderful time of the year. In our family we have a few traditions:
I wrap 24 Christmas related books and the kids get to open 1 a night.( I don’t buy them, I already have them from previous years, most were gifts)
Oakland and Ainsley get a small tree in their room to decorate.
We make a gingerbread house.
We go look at the lights in Prestonwood Neighborhood.
The kids get to open their Christmas Eve boxes on the 24th, inside is a NEW Christmas book, Christmas pjs, a new ornament for their tree, and a letter from mom and dad.
We also make cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve!
What are some of your traditions?
This was the FIRST year I made my own icing!!!!
