Christmas Traditions

As I sit here at work during the biggest blizzard of the year I decided to blog my carnival for December.
Traditions, every family has them, some are better than others!
TRADITIONS

.	1. the handing down of statements, beliefs, legends, customs, information, etc., from generation to generation, esp. by word of mouth or by practice: a story that has come down to us by popular tradition.

2.	something that is handed down: the traditions of the Eskimos.

3.	a long-established or inherited way of thinking or acting: The rebellious students wanted to break with tradition.

4.	a continuing pattern of culture beliefs or practices.

5.	a customary or characteristic method or manner: The winner took a victory lap in the usual track tradition.

Well we have a lot of traditions, see if you share any:

• Mom and I bake cookies, puppychow, fudge, and many other things of the food nature. Usually I end up eatting a lot of sugar cookie dough and making a dough ball.
• Put up the tree with all the ornaments we have collected over the years, and all our knick knacks, mom's barbie ornaments
  
• Candy Canes everywhere, on the tree in hot chocolate, YUM
• James and I Christmas Eve Anniversary (five years this year) trying to find a restaurant that is open later than 6pm!
• Kurt and I always making small snow hills and sledding down them
• Princess having to have a path shoveled in the yard for her because she was teeny tiny
• Playing moms old Christmas records

Traditions, some last and some fade, some change and some stay the same forever.
