Christmas Traditions

We have a family tradition here on Christmas Eve.  Although it's too early to post a photo (and I am not sure the family would appreciate it if I did photograph them, ha ha!), but I gift everyone with new jammies.  

We open them before bedtime, and wake up to open gifts in brand new jammies.  It's fun, and one thing our family enjoys every Christmas.  

 

As a child, our family would get up, get breakfast, and dress in fancy clothes before we opened anything.  When I married, I tried to continue that tradition, but Hubby soon shared his dislike to that routine (ha ha!).  Thus our own family traditions were created.  Sometimes we wear our new jammies all day long on Christmas day.

Another tradition here, is to prep breakfast Christmas Eve, and I simply pop it into the oven Christmas morning.  I make a simple Egg and Sausage souffle, and it's the only time of year we enjoy it.  It's delicious, easy, and special.

We sip hot coffee, open gifts, scream and holler, and laugh.  There are lots of giggles as we watch the dogs, cats and even the rabbit open their special treats.


Today, we are actually getting a light dusting of snow.  It's so pretty outside.  Hubby has the day off and it's going to be a wonderful day today.

You just never know when a new tradition can creep up on you, so be prepared.

What a great tradition. Maybe if you take rear view shots they will approve? Have a wonderful holiday.

Love the tradition of the jammies. (Everybody can always use a new pair anyway!) Our Christmas breakfast will be Kringler and Orange Julius(es) for a beverage. Have a wonderful Christmas Day with your whole family.

Great tradition. The PJ's one, that is :) Sounds like something I'd like to do here, but Paul would "crack the whip" and remind me that we live on a farm and there are no "Jammie days". I don't think the critters would care if I pitched hay in PJ's.

Love the jammies tradition. For the first time in many many years I got a beautiful nightgown. I love relaxed Christmas activities. My parent usually make the rounds to visit us all. We all live pretty close.

Merry Christmas!!

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
