[Mrs.Nooseman]

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.

A CHRISTMAS COMMANDMENT:
Thou shalt buy thyself one really great present and open it up in front of the family exclaiming: "I love it! But there is no card! Who giveth this unto me?"
Wait to see if anyone art sneaky enough to claim credit.

I'll never forget the one in Nurnberg. I even bought some of the red with white polka-dots mushroom ornaments. They're supposed to be good luck.

So you got a little snow? I think it's coming our way...according to our weather report.

[Disambiguator]

Danke schon.

[SoldierDad]

Luv W,

Allow me to introduce you to my nephew, Jeremy, who has just set up his screen name, and who is in Iraq at Camp Victory (if I recall correctly). Hi, psyberace. I'm pinging you so that you can meet my FRiends on FR.

[SoldierDad]

By the way Luv, psyberace might be off the computer right now as he indicated he's got a busy day. Hopefully he'll ping us when he gets back on.

[HiJinx]

When thee and thine husband agree not to exchange of the presents this year, hold this truth most dear:
He really isn't going to giveth anything unto you!

Hee hee...that's just the opposite for us!!

[luvie]

...to the Canteen, PsyberAce!
Good to have you here!
We have lots of fun here
and love our troops!

[HiJinx]
