Today we donned our winter coats, and tromped through woods filled with evergreens in search of the perfect Christmas tree. This is our second year for this adventurous new tradition.
Deeper and deeper we trudged. To short, to bare, to yellow, to Charlie Brown. Finally we found it. My husband took the cover off the hand saw and freed the spruce from its captivity.
One of my favorite parts of Christmas are traditions. Cutting down your own tree, drinking egg nog and listening to Christmas music while you fill the tree with color. Singing Christmas carols while you drive around the neighborhood filling your eyes with red, green, yellow, blue, and orange lights. Sipping a cup of homemade hot cocoa while you sit by a warm fire and gaze at the tree and decorations. And who can forget watching the classics? White Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life, or Charlie Brown's Christmas. Don't you just love tradition?
Anyone have a favorite Christmas tradition?
In addition to White Christmas, we also like Christmas in Connecticut and Holiday Inn. Oh, and making and eating dozens and dozens of cookies. How could I forget that?
ReplyDeleteOf course, who could forget all the Christmas baking! Good one.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed Christmas in Connecticut. There are too many to mention them all. We were going to start a new tradition of watching, The Nativity.
I think my favorite is taking the entire week off work. It makes for a wonderful Christmas.
