Pretty much anything by them is fantastic

5 Christmas Traditions

There are all traditions from "my" side of the family. Don't know if we'll adopt all of them or not.

1. Nuts.
Nuts and nutcrackers everywhere!

2. Puzzles
We never do puzzles but there is always one out on a card table around Christmas

3. Christmas Toys
Mom always put away a few really cool toys that we only got to play with at Christmas. It made them really exciting and fun.

4. Christmas Eve Service
We always went to this service at my church and then had cheese and crackers and soup afterward.

We always watched White Christmas. However, I think my family will end up watching "A Christmas Story" sigh.
