So Christmas is only a few days away, are you ready??
Our Christmas will be a bit quite this year, we did some of our gift giving at Thanksgiving...
Our son and daughter-in-love will spend Christmas with her family, our daughter is flying to Minnesota to spend Christmas with her "boy friend" and his family, all the other family members are far away...
We have had some fun Christmas times... we created our own traditions, one was having "basket gifts", we had several small gifts in baskets that the children were allowed to open one per day leading up to Christmas - it helped alleviate the "tension" of waiting to open gifts... should I mention that most of the tension was my husbands, not the childrens???
We celebrated
Hanukkah one year, lighting the menorah - it was a great experience!
We even had certain gifts that we always gave - for my Mother-in-law we always had some type of flower (a rose preferably), real or other AND we always sent my Father-in-law coal (or something that resembled coal!).
So, when I saw this recipe on
Diamonds for Dessert - it brought back some fun memories!
So, what traditions or memories do you have from Christmas past??
