I just love the traditions of Christmas. All the lights, special events, and food (mmm… especially the food) make me happy.
Finding and decorating the “perfect” tree.
Our annual Christmas-eve-eve pajama party with the cousins. The kids watched A Charlie Brown Christmas for the first time this year. They laughed so hard that they got me giggling too.

Making tiny clay treasures for everyone who comes to Christmas breakfast at our place.
And then, Finally! Christmas morning! My oldest knew that she was up too early this year, so she asked if she could just play quietly in her room with the toy that her Grandmother gave her on Christmas eve. It was 2:00AM – I said no.
Stockings!
I love our giant Christmas breakfast. We decided early that we didn’t want to travel on Christmas morning with kids, so we started inviting everyone to our home. The group has grown, and now we dozens of happy visitors join us for what has become a feast.

I love the excitement in this photo !
Merry Christmas to all of you too! We wish you a cozy time with family and friends.
You’re a brave woman to have all those people over at once! I’m not sure I could handle it ;-) Glad to see you had a merry Christmas!
Looks like a lot of wonderful traditions. Love the picture of kids in pj’s with the doggie :)
