COD Blog Party – #2: Traditions

17 Comments 13 November 2008

Well, it’s the second day of the Christmas of Dreams Blog Party! I, of course, missed the first day You know, ’cause I’m really good about doing things a day or 16 late!

Today’s (Day 2) topic is brought to us by LaPlates, Lets Go Strolling
and Natitys Design and is all about Traditions.

Thanksgiving:Growing up, my family always traveled 4 hours south to spend time with grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles…etc…Now that I have my own family though, the tradition has changed, just slightly. All of the grandparents live by us now, so we usually spend Thanksgiving day with my family, and the day after with my in-laws. We will go south to see my grandparents in between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Of course we always eat a lot!

Christmas Eve: I have always, and my family and I probably will always spend this night with close family friends of ours. We go to church and then head to their house for tons of food, and to exchange our gifts with them. We play games and always watch a Christmas themed movie.

Christmas: We wake up early and open presents!! I’ve never been able to sleep in on Christmas day, I still get as excited as I did as a child, more so to see everyone else open their gifts We have a big breakfast and mimosas’ at my mom’s, and then later my dad comes to our house.

New Years Eve: We go out once in a while for NYE. Last year I was preggo, and 3 years before that I was. It really just depends on the year! I think we’ve stayed up to watch the ball drop every year though!
