A Christmas tradition when I was growing up was the ribbon candy - I'd forgotten about that until I saw yours!

We used to get new pajamas to open on Christmas Eve, but last year, we all decided we'd outgrown that one. <br /><br />We do have New Mexican fare for Christmas dinner, though. No ham or turkey for us!<br /><br />So do the branches not hit you in the face when you turn over? lolStephanie Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613883248899266708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82981007971127798.post-71553878193415437202011-12-06T10:49:36.590-07:002011-12-06T10:49:36.590-07:00I love your new holiday header & background :)...I love your new holiday header & background :)<br /><br />Sleeping under the Christmas tree on the first night sounds like a fun tradition! I also love the idea of getting Christmas pillowcases every year. The ones your mom made are adorable.<br /><br />We don't really have any traditions that we do every year. We do try to watch A Christmas Carol every year and we do spend Christmas day with Nathan's family.Terrie D.

We're all together from mid-afternoon on the 24th until at least the evening of the 25th and there have been many years when we just stay the extra day and don't leave until the 26th. It's so fun just to all be together. I often wonder though, how much longer we'll be able to continue -- as our kids are now mostly grown and as they marry and bring more into the family it will get pretty big. I LOVE your idea of sleeping under the tree the first night!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.com
