I can't say we area carrying on my childhood traditions, but I wanted to write today and share them. My kids are older now, and well, I can't really stay up that late (ha ha ha!).
As a child, Mom would fill the kitchen table with leftover Christmas cookies, chips and dips, cheese ball and crackers, and punch. Lights would be off and candles would be lit.
The real Christmas tree would still be up, covered with that thin, silver tinsel, homemade ornaments and blinking lights. There was a star light on the top.
