Top Tuesday: Favorite Holiday Traditions

My favorite holiday traditions

  1. Fudge made with eggnog and Mandel Bread (this is the only time of year I make it!)
  2. Music. Especially this Chanukah song:    “In the window, I can see the glow. Of my menorah on newly fallen snow. I will set you, my little candle, on this the first** night of Chanukah.
  3. And Chris Rice’s “Go Light Your World”
  4. Packing a goodie box for a military service member serving overseas and seeing my children get into the spirit with their sweet notes, pictures and appreciation for what these men and women have given up to serve our country.
  5. Picking out a special snowglobe for my son and a nutcracker for my daughter.
  6. Lighting the fire and listening to Christmas music specials on PBS.
  7. Designing our annual Year in Pictures book on iPhoto.
  8. Sitting on the stairs in the dark of night after the children go to sleep making sure they don’t wake up while Santa Baby does his thing downstairs.
  9. Listening at 3 a.m. to the kids rustling through their stockings and wishing they’d fall back asleep for just a few more hours.
  10. I’m leaving this one open for you to fill in. What’s your favorite holiday tradition?

    Decorating the tree with all the kids. Listening to them reminisce about ornaments from years past; especially the homemade ones.

    Sleigh ride! Yes in South Texas. When I was growing up we all piled into the car and drove to see the lights in Windcrest. With time not on our side these days, a few years ago I decided to make my own “Windcrest” fun in my own neighborhood. I got out the Red Flyer Wagon, piled blankets and the girls inside with flashlights and took a walk around the neighborhood. It was so fun doing it at night and every year the weather was different, but it started a tradition, short but sweet. Now they are older but I will still try to do our sleigh ride. Hold onto those memories…
