I will take your class anyway but I like the idea of collecting the favourite winter traditions and I would also like to be in the loop for a giveaway if I am not to late now. My winter tradition is collecting and sorting my summer pictures and creating a photo-album during the long winter nights. While doing this I "re-enjoy" the memories of summer over again.<br />P.S. I love your beach-pumpkins too!stefanie starkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07312508488683053303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15337568.post-41016155095044691352012-10-28T10:05:52.169-07:002012-10-28T10:05:52.169-07:00I loved on Christmas Eve the kids would put on th...I loved on Christmas Eve the kids would put on their pajamas and we would go for a ride to see the lights, then we would come home for some hot chocolate.

Found objects, things in nature, a photograph, a handwritten promise or wish, a favorite snack (packaged), a drawing, an article of clothing, whatever their imaginations come up with. On Christmas Day, the tree has quite a lot of presents for the Little King under its branches, reminding everyone what we're really celebrating. Someone was designated to be Jesus' helper and would open the presents for Him, while each child commented on WHY he thought Jesus would love it! We've done this every year for 30 years with those of my kids who are still close by. THis little tradition has added laughter, tears, and hundreds of memories for us over time. My kids who live in other parts of the country have started doing this with their little ones. So I guess we passed SOMETHING on to them!<br /><br />I would simply love to be apart of your class this year. WHo knows, we might add something NEW to an OLD practice!<br /><br />ChrisGubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301513298423579239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15337568.post-86819473177414266542012-10-27T20:27:35.375-07:002012-10-27T20:27:35.375-07:00I can NOT carry a tune.

We decorate 24 paper bags with paint and stamps and glitter and fill them with small items like craft supplies, gum, homemade jewelry, etc. Each day the girls get to open one from Dec. 1 to Christmas eve. They call us each day to tell us what they opened. This way we get to share the holiday season with them and they know we're thinking about them each day. We now have a 3 week old newborn so I'm looking forward to starting new traditions with him!
