Christmas Memories, 2009, Sharon Kay Riddle Smith


Yes, it's Christmas. The year flew by and here it is. Time for all the family traditions, time to reflect on how special family truly is.
This year we will spend Christmas Eve at Mom's, like we usually do every year, and of course order Mexico Way, which has become part of our family tradition. For us, it's a highlight because we don't have it so easily accessible.

Since the girls were babies, I started the Christmas Eve pajama tradition, and now it's one that we all share. We will exchange pajamas, and everyone HAS to wear them on Christmas day. Makes me think of Linda the year someone bought her pajamas that we would now call capris...ha.. !!

I started a new tradition last year in making Mike's Granny's Carrot Cake, and of course NUT ROLLS !!! I still stuff the girls stockings every year, and put them out on Christmas Eve after we get home from Mom's. We will all sit around the fireplace and watch Megan pass out the packages while we eat nut rolls and have coffee. We all have to take turns opening gifts so we can see what each other got, and Mike and Myndi LOVE that part...!! Last year we all stayed in pajamas the entire day.....this year I think we will do the same !!

A song that is usually played every Christmas morning is Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays by N'sync.....it's one of our favorites.

I want to personally wish everyone that reads this a very Merry Christmas !! My wish for everyone is for all to have a happy spirit in their hearts and to be so thankful that our family had another blessed year.

Love to all !!
Kay
