Dear Readers,
One of the traditions that we have at our house that is a bit different than anyone elses is when Santa brings the stuff for the stockings. This is a tradition we got from my husbands family so I have no claim to this idea. Santa has so many houses to go to on Christmas eve, he goes to some very special houses on the Sunday before Christmas.
So the Sunday before Christmas is when we opened stockings at our house. Which turned out to be one of the best things we did. It was a lot less pressure on that morning. The kids had a time to enjoy the presents they recieved in the stocking and as parents we didn't have to rush off to Christmas service which as most you experience is quite full.
We still do this tradition with our adutl children and grandkids. It does make it a bit busier as now they come in for the morning and have breakfast with us before headed off to their own churches, but it is such a wonderful time for the family. It is a time that we all take time to just enjoy each others company and laugh. It is actually one of my favorite times during the holiday.
Happy Reading
