I’m first!? Terrific! I am not kidding when I say I collect snowmen for the winter season. It made perfect sense when I lived in Maine. Now that I am in Nashville, it just reminds me of the old white Christmases I enjoyed as a child. Please count me in!

Traditions….
Advent calendar (magnetic navitity scene–we put the piece, a small piece of candy, and a simple verse behind each door for DD1)

DD1 and I have always made a “Happy Birthday Jesus” cake on Christmas Eve. We eat it while we open presents on Christmas morning.

Three presents per kid. Jesus got three, after all. :-)

I have a plain treeskirt (solid red) and I put DD’s handprints on it each year in metallic paint. Now I have two DDs to “print” this year! :-)

We got this idea from smoeone else but now we use it….our children get three gifts as well but they have to have MEANING. 1 gift is something they WANT, 1 gift is something they NEED, 1 gift is something that will help them grow with the Lord i.e. a Bible, a cross necklace, etc.

Please do enter me !

One tradition we have is to always do two gifts on Christmas Eve — a pair of new pajamas, and a new ornament for each person. :)

Enter me, please. :)

Love it!
I get new pjs for everyone in the family, and we open them Christmas Eve and wear them that night.

Neat idea!

Fun idea. Our favorite tradition is our cookie making party. We have lots of snacks and my family enjoys making the same cookies we have made for many years. We have a blast decorating, snacking, and then sampling the baby cookies we make.

What great prizes! Since it’s Tuesday – my girls and I love crafts! Last Christmas we spent a couple of days making ornaments out of craft foam and cookie cutters. The girls would pick a Christmas cookie cutter, I would trace and cut it, and then they would adorn it with glitter, sequins, googly-eyes, etc. A hole punch in the top would allow for a ribbon hanger, and they were so proud to put them on “their” tree in the toy room! We will do it again this year, too.

Thanks!
