The topic is: Christmas Traditions
I have a few Christmas traditions starting with putting the tree up on the day after Thanksgiving. It is the start of the Christmas season for me. It didn't get done this year and I was extremely upset - kind of ruined it for me and I said that I would not put up a tree at all because of it. BUT - I caved. I got a tree last weekend and put it up.
The only other tradition that I can think of is Christmas Eve pajamas. It started when the kids were little. I would always buy them Christmas themed pajamas to wear on Christmas Eve. I still do it. This year I ordered matching flannel pj bottoms and Christmas t-shirts for me and Biz. They should be here this week!
I LIKE THE JAMMIES TRADITION THAT WOULD BE A FUN KID OR ADULT THING EVEN TO DO. I AM GLAD YOU CAVED AND HAVE THE TREE UP!!
ReplyDeleteI AM JUST NOT READY YET FOR MINE.
That is a cute tradition...thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter C buys her neices and nephews pjs for Christmas as well. My sister makes pj bottoms for her kids. A great tradition.
ReplyDeleteI used to get a brand new flannel night gown every year from my grandmother....
ReplyDeleteIt is funny how we count on our Traditions and when they get disrupted it disrupts the feeling too, I totally get it. Christmas pajamas sound like fun!!
ReplyDeleteYes - my mom used to always have a Christmas Eve gift for me too. sometimes pj's, or a book, or a soft cuddly......but I usually have stuck with the PJ's tradition. Not necessarily all matching - because my son would stage a Christmas Eve holy rebellion if I dressed him like his sisters. LOL
ReplyDeleteLast year I did something really special and ordered them all new bedding in their favourite characters. previously they only mismatched stuff that I could find on sale. They were so surprised when they came up to bed and saw their cozy nests adorned with Star Wars, Barbie and Dora. Was awesome!
Post a pic of your festive pj's! :)
thanks for sharing your traditions!
Oh I love the pajamas!! I think I might buy some fun matching pajamas for my husband and I this year.
