I love Christmas time...just wanted to share some of our Christmas traditions... including but not limited to:
* Setting up the tree (Fraser fir is our favorite)...must be a real tree..it's just how I was raised.

Favorite ornament.

* Watching Little Women...love it, love it, love it....while setting up the living room...haven of Christmas in our home.

* Sending Christmas Cards.
* Eggnog anything (Breyers has a new ice cream that is awesome).
* Watching Home Alone 2:Lost in New York City. Can't explain this one except to say...I love NYC.

* Advent calendar- this is new for us this year. Caleb has taken on the task of filling each box with a Scripture on song verse anticipating the birth of Christ...so each day we have a verse to read.
* Christmas Carols...at all times.
* Making some kind of Christmas Cookie: Gingerbread men or sugar cookies. Also, my Nana's recipe for Finnish biscuit- a great breakfast bread with cardamom seeds.
* Nativity set- Caleb and I bought this for our 5th anniversary (actually not until February)...but we found it in San Diego. Caleb has made it his mission to find the perfect Nativity set and so when we found it in July...we decided to make it our 5th wedding anniversary gift. We buys gifts according to the year (1st- paper, 2nd- cotton, 3rd- leather, 4th- linen, 5th- wood).

Let me know your favorite Christmas traditions...
