Our Christmas Traditions

As we are beginning our life as a new, blending, family, we are learning new and fun ways to celebrate things!  We are establishing some of our family traditions.  As we are gettting closer to Jesus' birthday, I don't want to forget to list the things we have done/will do as a family.  We have visited Santa and ate breakfast with him, visited Santa's Reindeer, given to the needy (this year it was through a giving tree), read Christmas books, decoarted the Christmas tree together, took the kids black friday shopping, made homemade gifts for people.  We are still planning on baking cookies for Santa, putting out reindeer food, reading a Christmas story each night before bed, making a gingerbread house, and making an ornament for each child to keep until they move out and get a tree of their own.
