Good Morning Troops, Veterans and Canteeners.

Come join us and share your Christmas/ Holiday traditions with us.

Christmas Traditions at my house.

Advent

At our house we start the Christmas celebrations with Advent.

We have a wreath made out of pine cones with four candles on it.Each Sunday we light one Candle and read the Story of Christs birth and listen to Christmas songs.

During the time of Advent,we also start baking our Christmas Cookies and making Christmas decorations.

Our kids receive an Advent Calender on the First of December to count down the days to Christmas.

St.Nick or Nickolaus

On December sixth we celebrate St.Nick,who brings small gifts ,that he puts into the children's boots,that have been left in front of their doors,if they were good.;)

To keep some of the traditions from Germany in the family, we also exchange gifts on December 24 th and we put some gifts under the tree for December 25 th,to include the traditions of an American Christmas.

We have integrated both traditions into our very own tradition and hope that our kids will carry on this tradition, when they have their own families.

It would be great if you all could share your Traditions with all of us,whether they are Christmas,Hanuka or other Holiday traditions.

I wish you all Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas.

Frustrating......ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! And we cannot be off for the office holidays on Monday and Tuesday, so all, except me will be off Friday (I will be off next Friday)...tomorrow is going to be a bear trying to get all this stuff fixed. I'm staying tonight to try to get mine under control...I hope. d:o)

OK....are you home yet for the holidays?

No, not yet. Almost everyone else is off as of today. But, I and two other of our psychologists will be interviewing three psych interns tomorrow, along with our Assistant Supt for Special Education. So, I won't get out of the Sac area and on the road home until sometime tomorrow afternoon.
