Christmas Traditions - New & Old


Some old traditions that I want to continue:
1.  Apple pies
2.  Sausage balls & scrambled eggs on Christmas morning
3.  Christmas Eve service at SRBC (or another church)
4.  Decorating our house for Christmas several weeks before, including getting a real tree.

New traditions that I want to incorporate:
1.  Celebrating the 12 days of Christmas according to the traditional church meaning.  This could include giving our children a gift for each of the 12 days & celebrating Three Kings Day, the day the Magi got to Jesus. 
2.  Leaving our decorations up through Epiphany (Jan 5/6) to celebrate the 12 days of Christmas.
3.  Jesus birthday cake when we have kids.
4.  Doing something special with each other in lieu of buying each other gifts.
