Mistletoe, Baking, & Music, OH MY!!
Hearing the jingling of the Salvation Army bells, Christmas music 24/7, and decorations everywhere gets me excited for Christmas!
We all have Christmas traditions but here are a few of my favorites.
1. Mistletoe! A sprig with a red bow in a doorway (or 2!) is a must! You can't be anything but JOLLY when getting smooches in the doorway.
2. Nativity at St. Joseph's hospital. Do you remember the Nativity display at St. Joe's? They had a full-sized Nativity with 3 Wise Men that moved across the lawn, getting closer each day. We took our kids often to see how close they were getting. It was exciting!
3. BAKING! Is it even Christmas without fudge? My mom is the master baker. I loved hearing the whirl of the mixer. We would decorate dozens of sugar cookies in festive shapes and covered them in frosting & sprinkles. They looked like a hot mess but we thought they were masterpieces. My grown kids still have a cookie decorating afternoon with us.
4. Christmas Music. I am ready to hear it in July but the scolding from my kids has me wait until November. A local station starts playing it 24/7 in mid-November and it's all I listen to! Even my ring tone changes! Jingle Bells!
5. Matching pajamas. There are now 20 in our extended family and my mom always has matching jammies for all of us. The most fun of the jammies is we all stay in them at least 2 days after Christmas! Christmas Eve starts with clam chowder and opening our matching jammies.
6. SANTA!! If you have little ones (mine are grown), going to see SANTA is another tradition that kids look forward to! He's an iconic symbol of the holiday. We invite your kids to experience Santa like they never have before.
