Christmas Traditions

One of our traditions, in the time Mike and I have been married, is to buy a new Christmas book each year. At the front of the book, I put the names of the people in our family and the year. This year I bought our tenth Christmas book! I decided to buy one with Christmas carols. I was happy to find this one with both hymns and other Christmas favorites. We will read one each day before Christmas, and on Christmas Eve we read Luke 2. Another tradition is one I'm starting this year. Every day in December we'll read a scripture, a thought, or sing a song about Christ. Then we'll put one ornament on a little tabletop tree. This year I think I'll just use things I have around the house for ornaments, like tiny homemade paper stars and snowflakes, ribbon, etc. Then by Christmas day, the tree will be decorated!
