It is important to have family traditions. I know that Wendy and I feel it is important to carry on some of our parents traditions. A few days ago I mentioned my family's tradition of "Grandma's Noodles" and today I am grateful for the tradition we have of giving Christmas ornaments to our children and my parents. Each one has a special meaning or memory, like a family vacation or the first Christmas for a new member to the family.
Start a new tradition this year!
Cute ornaments. Traditions are a great thing to hold on to. Kids grow up and then can carry on the traditions - I hope we all are a little nostalgic every Christmas. The best Christmases are the ones you remember as a kid.
ReplyDeleteOne of the traditions that I carry on that I look forward to the most is the new pjs on Christmas Eve. Jared complains that we all end up with tons of pajamas, but I think he likes it too. I like the tradition we started when we got married of the "Let's Make a Deal" holiday game too, although it needs a revamp this year. The Edward Doll just may be the latest in my series of traditions. Can't wait for Mariah's reaction this year.
ReplyDeleteI think it is great to have family traditions. It is so important for each member of the family to feel like they have something special.
