I was laying in bed last night, trying to remember all of the "little" traditions that our family had at Christmas time. What sweet memories.
*Driving around after the Christmas Eve service to look at the luminaries and lights in Joppatowne
*Putting out milk and cookies for Santa, though we didn't believe in him.
*Eating Pillsbury cinnamon rolls for Christmas breakfast, with extra icing.
*Dad wearing his brown robe and over-sized matching brown slippers.
*Sleeping in so late that our parents woke US up.
*Getting special Christmas dresses from our Aunt Gail, who now buys one for Isabel.
*Having our stockings stuffed so full that the gifts had to be placed underneath them on the floor
What "little" traditions do you remember from your childhood?

Ummm...seriously, your parents WOKE you up on Christmas?? I am so disappointed! Hmmm...we do the lights thing still! We also do the 11pm service Christmas Eve...and end with Joy to the World sung at midnight.
My grandparents made us an Advent calendar of sorts. It's a wooden Christmas tree with hooks for each day until Christmas Eve. Each morning, my sister and I would take turns hanging each day's charm. On Christmas Eve, we'd hang up the charm for the Nativity together. I miss my grandma!
