Christmas traditions

Welcome to the Cottage! I love Christmas traditions. One of my favorites is the 1st weekend in December we always watch Home Alone. Another is the putting up of our Christmas tree. We usually do it right after Thanksgiving.  One of my favorite activities is the Christmas Eve cookie making.  We always do it after lunch and before we go to the Christmas Eve service.  Then we go to the Christmas Eve service . When we get home, we always read the Christmas story in Luke 2 then we sing Christmas carols. We always get an ornament gift from our parents. We also have a tree called the picture tree in which mom puts all the pictures of us as we are growing up--a new picture each year. It is fun to see us as we are growing up.
