Celebration traditions

Regardless of which of the December holidays are celebrated, it always seems to feel good to have traditions, things that you do year after year.  Begun in childhood or created later on, do you do something every year that if you didn't, would feel like something was missing?

The Kona story isn't that great ... I got it as a gift one year and I really like it but it's expensive so I buy it once a year and have it for Solstice and Christmas.

This year I'm trying to start the tradition where DH cooks supper for us. So far it's not working out too well for me. I can see this being a pi**ing contest and us being very hungry that day! LOL!

I suggest you have "Plan B" in place before the day arrives!

I can see we think alike! LOL! I have a pizza in the freezer if all else fails.

Our most important holiday tradition is traveling to be with family over Christmas (or at least sometime during the week around Christmas). Even when the kids were small we packed all their gifts and things into the car so Santa could visit them at Grandma's! It was a real challenge in those years when they really believed in Santa!! They knew we were packing gifts, but we couldn't let them see theirs! Now that the kids are grown and married, we still all get together at Grandma's over the holidays!

Whatever traditions we had were so disrupted by moving, first overseas and then back here to Ohio, that we stopped doing them. And we haven't gotten around to re-establishing them. Doesn't seem worth the effort with only the two of us!

I thought that, too, but I find having something to share that is meaningful is really important at this time of year.
