Hi everyone, I hope you had a great holiday weekend, if you celebrate Thanksgiving, or just a great weekend if you don’t! We had family visiting from California last week, and we definately enjoyed the festivities. And can you believe it is now less than a month to Christmas?? This is one of my favorite times of year.
This weekend we travelled into the mountains to choose the perfect Christmas tree. This is my family’s first time doing this, and we had a blast. The sun was out, the view was beautiful, and there was only a minimal amount of snow covering the ground.
We finished decorating our tree last night, and it looks great. I love having a fresh tree to look at and enjoy in our living room…it makes the whole house smell delicious! To celebrate our accomplishment, Mike and I had a glass of eggnog, some peppermint candy, and watched Elf.
In light of the new future addition to our family, Mike and I are trying to get some family traditions in place so that we can continue them when we have the little one. I am really interested in hearing your holiday traditions!
Are you enjoying the holidays yet? Do you have any family traditions that make the holidays special?
Oh, what fun! I’m so not in the xmas mood yet, but maybe I should try to bring it on with a bit xmas music. My family was terrible at traditions, and never seemed to do anything twice, so I’ll look forward to seeing what traditions you pick up. One of the ones I enjoy here in Finland is when “Christmas peace” is declared at noon on xmas eve. From that point on, everyone has to relax and be nice–no stressing about food or gifts gone wrong!
It looks like fun to go harvest your own tree.
