[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 614748, member: 1514"] We used to have some small family traditions that came basically from when I was growing up. The first is that every Xmas eve we have oyster stew. For some reason that just happened from as long as I can remember. It might have something to do with my father being catholic. The other was going out to see all the lights we could find. I have kept those up with my boys though when they were younger they had chicken noodle soup while just Tony and I had the oyster stew. On Xmas ever I also gave the boys new Xmas PJ's and they would put them on and we would pile in the car to go see the lights and then we would come home and have hot chocolate and they had to go to bed. There was a time when they became mid to late teens that the whole going out and seeing the lights and getting new PJ's just wasnt all that fun for them anymore. I started it back when Monkey was born. I am so not good baking and every time I try to make those sugar cookie with cookie cutters its nothing but a mess. I sometimes get the ones already ready to bake and use those...lol. This year I am making those salt dough ornaments and cinnamon ornaments with Monkey...she doesnt really care that they arent coming out of the cutters perfectly. [/QUOTE]
