One of the things I love about Christmas, now that we have children, is watching as our own Christmas traditions begin to evolve. What makes a family tradition? I think it's about cherished memories, the element of ritual, a sense of meaning or significance... and there's something about what you decide, as a family, to repeat year after year.
I'm guest posting at Childhood 101 today. Come on over and tell me about your family's Christmas (or other significant) traditions. Which ones wouldn't you give up - even if you were away from home this Christmas?

The photo - Doots found a self-sown white poppy in the garden. It inspired her to dress in head to toe white, as an angel.
Each year the children take it in turns to choose the Christmas tree.
ReplyDeleteEven though they're getting older, this is one tradition that they truly love.
Popping over to read your guest post and smiling at the idea of a little white angel skipping and dancing around your home.
