Well, after seeing my cousin start her own blog and hearing great things, I have decided to join the world of blogging. I hope my writings will be of interest to all and provide a chance of reliving memories, sharing experiences and much more.
A few days ago, I was at a study I regularly attend. At this particular study, we were asked to share our memories or traditions of Christmas. For me, I always enjoyed Christmas eve the most. When I was younger, me and my brother would get to open 2 presents. One would usually contain a toy and the other a type of clothing. We usually convinced my mom to allow us to open one gift in the morning and one when my dad arrived home from work. In the evening, we would attend the christmas eve service at church and afterwards go for a little drive around town, looking at all the different decorations and lights. We would then go to our neighbour's house for games, food and an all around good time. One other memory that sticks out for me is Christmas morning. In the wee hours of the morning, I always woke up hours before I was supposed to, knock on my brother's door and we would go sneak a peek at what Santa brought us.
At 21, Christmas is still a holiday I love. As soon as that first christmas song comes on the radio, the excitement slowly starts building up. The parties begin to happen, the decorations go up all around the town and the christmas tree goes up. A time to celebrate the birth of Christ, to spend that valuable time with friends and family, the joy on someone's face when they receive a gift from you and of course the turkey dinner with all the trimmings.
What are some of your Christmas traditions or memories??? Was there a certain gift you received as a child you were really thankful for?? When Christmas arrives, remember to not only enjoy the gifts you receive, but enjoy that special time you get to to spend with your family, remember the reason of the season and keep those traditions going!
Seasons Greetings,
Travis

ReplyDeleteChristmas time means so much to so many, but to remember the reason for the season is exactly right Trabby. My favorite time of the season is Christmas Eve....I love being with my family....listening to carolers who brave the cold and snow to serenade me..attending the candlelight service at church and then coming home to a cup of hot chocolate and sitting in the family room illuminated only by the tree lights. The look on my boys faces and they muse over the gitfts and choose which one they want to open. I wish I could freeze that evening forever!
