Good Morning Troops, Veterans and Canteeners.

Come join us and share your Christmas/ Holiday traditions with us.

Christmas Traditions at my house.

Advent

At our house we start the Christmas celebrations with Advent.

We have a wreath made out of pine cones with four candles on it.Each Sunday we light one Candle and read the Story of Christs birth and listen to Christmas songs.

During the time of Advent,we also start baking our Christmas Cookies and making Christmas decorations.

Our kids receive an Advent Calender on the First of December to count down the days to Christmas.

St.Nick or Nickolaus

On December sixth we celebrate St.Nick,who brings small gifts ,that he puts into the children's boots,that have been left in front of their doors,if they were good.;)

To keep some of the traditions from Germany in the family, we also exchange gifts on December 24 th and we put some gifts under the tree for December 25 th,to include the traditions of an American Christmas.

We have integrated both traditions into our very own tradition and hope that our kids will carry on this tradition, when they have their own families.

It would be great if you all could share your Traditions with all of us,whether they are Christmas,Hanuka or other Holiday traditions.

I wish you all Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas.

Hi SW.

[monkapotamus]

OOH I WANT EGG NOG NOW!

[luvie]

It looks very cold...poor horse. I can't get warm enough in this kind of weather. I am not used to it any more.

I guess this Sis is going to have to go to sleep. I am getting very tired from all the excitement of seeing the treasures we found. The lights from the tree are so beautiful and it's beginning to feel like Christmas.

Look at the snow drift down...
it's already piling up on the windows...

[HiJinx]

No, no, you gals stay warm - this is what brothers are for!

Jus' make sure there's something warm to sip when I come back in!

And, I think some of LUV's cookies would be good right about now. Any chance anyone made gingerbread?

[luvie]

Beautiful, Sis! Tastes soooo rich and creamy!

[HiJinx]

Good night, sis...snuggle deep under the covers, I'll make sure the fire is banked for the night, and I'll get up first to get it going again in the morning.

That sounds lovely. A nice warm brick on our feet right now sounds so cozy. Do you suppose Mom still has those bricks left from our childhood?

[TASMANIANRED]

I think Jinxy wants hot chocolate instead of egg nog.

I start heating up the milk,, where do you stash the cocoa and sugar.
