Christmas Traditions!

We LOVE Christmas traditions! One that we all enjoy is unwrapping a Christmas book every night of December. I wrap up 23 different books, the same ones every year, and put them in a basket. Each night the boys take turns opening one up and then Big C or I read it to them. They look forward to it every year. On Christmas Eve, Big C reads The Night Before Christmas and the Christmas story from the book of Luke. Great memories!

Here is our basket of books!
Here is the first book last night!
We added a new tradition this year, it was C1's idea. We are singing a different carol each night. He went online and printed out the lyrics for all of us. Though we couldn't sing in a concert hall or anything, it was a sweet, sweet sound!

May you all enjoy your Christmas traditions!

Hey Friend! Would you consider loaning us your books in a basket tradition to share with others? If so, email me and I'll give you the details! We'd love to put it up over at Celebrating Christmas!
