This year is the first year that we will be staying home on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Usually we wrap the children up and head all over God's wonderful country side to try to visit as much family as possible...
Christmas Eve with my Mom - 45 minutes away
Christmas Morning with hubby's parents - 2 hours away
Christmas Evening with my Dad - 1 hour from hubby's parent's
and then back to hubby's parents to spend an extended visit.
We have loved this routine for the last six years but now with three babies to tote, it just is too much. Last year, I kid you not, when I say that 20 minutes from home I had to have hubby pull over into some poor person's yard just so that I could puke!
Yeah, great memory there.
Anyway, I have decided that this year we will set some traditions. I think that we will wait to Christmas eve to get the tree. Decorate it on Christmas Eve and then roast Marshmellows in the fireplace. Then, I think we will put the wee ones to bed and then watch a Christmas movie with our six year old.
So, here is a question for you. What unique traditions do you do as a family? Please leave me a comment and I will choose my favorite and send you an early Christmas present. What will the gift be? I dunno. Maybe some Yankee Candle Votives...maybe a gift card somewhere, maybe a fun Christmas ornament...maybe some coal!
Anyway, just leave a comment and a way for me to get in touch with you if you win. Entries will be accepted through December 6th!
Thanks to my friends who entered this contest! For a long time my friend Michelle was the sole person in the race to win. To be fair and honest I used the random org generator and guess who won-Michelle! Merry Christmas!
