This may have already been posted, but for those of you who celebrate Christmas how many have family traditions? It was traditional when my kids were growing up that starting on December 1st we read a Christmas book each night at bed time, ending with the story of Christs birth on Christmas Eve. Another tradition were the stockings (we still do this!). No gifts were opened until the stockings were explored. Another that was my tradition was when everyone was in bad on Christmas Eve. I would sit with only the lights of the tree on and a fire in the fireplace (if cold enough) and count my blessings.
