Traditions are so great. I don't think my family really had any as I was growing up, though, which is totally okay. Now that I'm married and have my "own" family, there are a few traditions that Jeffrey and I would really like to begin implementing now and when we have kids in the future. A fun one is to bake Christmas cookies every Christmas Eve, send Christmas cards, and then we want to get matching pjs every year (I know .... I'm not too big into the matching thing, but I think this is totally a cute idea for when we do have kids, so maybe we'll start this whenever we do have kids). Another little tradition we want to start is to read the story of Jesus' birth together every Christmas Eve to remember our Savior. In the midst of a busy season where all the pretty things will be grabbing our every attention, we want to keep our hearts grounded in the true reason of our celebration. We create that space for ourselves where we can simply quiet our hearts and be reminded of Jesus.
What about you? What are your Christmas traditions? What traditions do you want to start?
