LOVE these christmas traditions.... (text taken directly from the post itself) the first one is my favorite and it involves the presents. tradition #1: each little person gets their own wrapping paper---none of the gifts are marked, and in order to know which gifts are theirs, they have to find a tiny piece of their wrapping paper in the bottom of their stocking. it's a little last minute excitement, as they see the gifts, but don't know which belongs to who :) tradition #2: each kiddo gets 3 gifts (from us): a WANT, a NEED and a SURPRISE. we've done this every year since caedmon was born, and i really like the idea of it. it keeps christmas simple for us, and works for now. i imagine things might change one day when they start asking for more expensive items. tradition #3: christmas eve---we all open christmas jammies that have already been washed and are ready to put on. after jammies, the kids get another present which involves books. so, not only do they get the 3 gifts on christmas morning, but on christmas eve they also get something to WEAR and something to READ. the kids know they are getting these 2 gifts and look forward to them all day. this year, after church service that evening we added a new tradition of eating ice cream sundaes and drinking hot chocolate...all in our new jammers...when we were finished we watched a short christmas movie, then read our books, then off to bed!
