Monday's MeMe- Christmas Traditions

Every week I host a Monday's MeMe... just for fun! Join in if you like, I always love to learn more about everyone!

This weeks theme is Christmas Traditions!

5. Christmas eve services. I love going to Christmas eve services! It just isn't Christmas without going to Christmas Eve services.

4. Christmas dinner at my Grandma's. Christmas just isn't Christmas without going to my Grandmas and gathering with our family. Between all of my cousins and I we make a rather large group! We are almost getting to big to fit in my Grandma's house! I can't imagine having Christmas any where else. Yet, I know that one day we will have to find an alternate place to gather or maybe not gather on Christmas as many of us are beginning to create our own family traditions.

3. Hallmark Ornaments. Every year, either my mom or I get the kids new ornaments. We also always get my dad a new ornament and I started 2 years ago getting Jason the airplane series from Hallmark!

2. Santa. Santa is a huge tradition in our family. If you don't believe in Santa... he will not bring you presents! Then the kids are left with the ONE gift from mom and dad... usually a package of undies or socks!

1. Christmas Candy &/or Cards. I lumped these two together b/c there have been years I have made Christmas Candy and not made any cards, or I have made Cards and no Christmas Candy! They are both really great traditions that I love to do every year and a perfect year is one where I get to do both!!!

I sure hope you enjoyed my list! I look forward to reading about your Christmas Traditions!
