Christmas Traditions

Some of my favorite things about Christmas are our traditions. We find joy in decorating the tree at home while listening to old Christmas music on the stereo, touring small towns to look at light displays and manger scenes, donating items to local charities and shopping for Christmas gifts for family and friends, visiting Christmas stores, watching Christmas shows on TV, baking cookies, collecting pine cones, seeing children talking to Santa at the Children's Garden and watching snow fall.

The items we receive  at Christmas, while sweet, are never as precious as the joy of time spent with family, friends, pets and new acquaintances.

Merry Christmas
