We have been married 7 years an have never spent a holiday in our own home because everyone has "traditions" that we have to be together and we have to do everything "just so." We had a terrible Thanksgiving for that reason, spent most of it in the car, drag gin ourselves to each person's house, and came home sick afterward. This Christmas, we sat in our own home together, just the two of us and our pretty decorations. We made ravioli for Christmas dinner, made mincemeat pies and block printed cards (new traditions in the making), and rekindled an old tradition from our newly-wed years of making a gingerbread house. Traditions are really sweet unless they become a burden and you are just doing them to check them off a list!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630143757071248406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873676793864863099.post-34395670022531369752014-12-01T13:46:28.447-05:002014-12-01T13:46:28.447-05:00We decided to decorate our tree differently this y...We decided to decorate our tree differently this year, adding only the white or rustic ones. I love it, but that's only because we have a second tree in the basement family room and all our special memories are down there. Like you, I couldn't imagine a Christmas without my favorite decorations! Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/15445291034631735026noreply@blogger.com
