This one might not be as prominent with e-readers, but we always got a book on Christmas.
AND we have a tradition, that if you receive a piece of clothing you have to put it on, in the order that you receive it.....
And generations playing with new "toys". (This was taken in 1981, when Chris asked for a train and got two of them, both in this picture. The one on the left still entertains toddlers at our house.)
I don't have a picture of it, but eggs benedict on Christmas morning in our PJs is a non moveable tradition
Most of these traditions have been around since I was born
AND What has changed / what traditions have we added:
- Christmas Eve service is a must
- We have scaled back and just give stocking presents or a few small presents
- Celebrating at another time with extended families. In January we have our third annual Russell/Lowe/Swartzbaugh Christmas in Vermont with Bob and Linda Russell, Chris Meg and Zuzu Swartzbaugh, Bryan and Bethany Russell-Lowe and Sally Russell and Rodney Lowe.
