Christmas Memories

13 days until the fat man arrives...........

what traditions do you remember from your childhood?
what traditions have you carried on to your families from your childhood?
what stands out in your memories from Christmas as a child?

I'll start.........
  • getting a rifle that shot plastic bullets and shooting the glass ornaments off the tree with my grandfather
  • all of the family members coming over on Christmas Eve to unwrap the presents
  • looking at lights all over town
  • Christmas Eve services at Bethany
  • little kids that were in the Christmas Eve program
  • snacks, candy, pecans, walnuts, almonds, cookies
  • snow
  • new sleds
  • breakfast rolls in the morning
  • stockings on Christmas morning
  • dancing in the garage
Some of these have become "new" traditions and some have gone by the wayside

Are you ever really too old to have a Christmas stocking?

Great idea! A facebook friend of mine lead me here and I in turn shared it on my facebook page. I'm going to write a few up in a couple minutes. Thanks!
