A Time for Sharing

So the husby and I are looking for some new traditions to start this holiday season. We have only thought of a few so far. Those include:

  • Exchanging new pajamas each Christmas Eve
  • Sleeping under the Christmas tree (he doesn't care so much for this one... especially since we have a Charlie Brown Christmas tree)
  • Making Dutch Babies Christmas morning (some family tradition from his father involving yummy pastries)

As you can see, our list is rather lacking.

What do you do?

What should we do?

I can't wait to hear your ideas!

Megan, "dutch babies"? Leave the bedroom talk off of the blog please. (Is Dan even Dutch?)

We didn't do this as a family but I know of one tradition that involves either a baby Jesus or a star that is passed from family member to family member as good deeds are done. I guess it's something that works if you have a bigger family than just two but it's an idea.

Good luck!

We always get a new ornament for our tree every year. This started when I was a child at my grandmother's house and still continues now that I am an adult. I love your blog, congrats on the wedding!

We always have a "Bethleham" supper. It used to just be crackers (for the unleavened bread) meat, cheese, olives and dried fruits...we've added a liitle over the years since everyone was usually still hungry but it was fun...also, we light a few candles all over the house and use lanterns for light and we don't go to bed til the candles go out...you'll probably want small candles, and light em early in the day. :)
