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.

I know how hard it is to be patient...but he'll get in touch if at all possible. He knows how you and the rest of his family love to hear from him...and need to, even.

Can't navigate very well.

Every time I post it takes me back to the start of the thread and then I'm lost.

I'm through the rabbit hole.
