The mother-in-law.<br /><br />My hubby said, “I wish I had one.”<br /><br />I had five Christmases without my mom, without traditions because I could not bear the memories. Thoughts of Silver Bells, Andy Williams, and fudge dimmed my joy of the season.<br /><br />Then it grew, glimmered, and brightened. A grandson, our eleven-months-old-tornado of activity, is making me whole. Traditions came back with plans for more. A desire to give to him what I grew up with, Bing Crosby and the bell on the Christmas tree signaling a new angel.<br /><br />Poinsettias, tinsel, divinity, pine, and snow.<br /> <br />A new beginning. <br />I wish Mom could see him, her great-grandson. But I figure she does and approves.<br />Huntresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08155372788872245758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-20026447944264500562012-12-24T06:32:51.275-06:002012-12-24T06:32:51.275-06:00I enjoy the food and family time.

The number is fewer since she's a bit older and already has tons of stuff. But her smile is infectious and I love watching her smile glow bright opening gifts from "Santa".Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-10304476498660106172012-12-23T22:41:47.610-06:002012-12-23T22:41:47.610-06:00This year we stayed home instead of traveling to b...This year we stayed home instead of traveling to be with family, so we are looking forward to some relaxing. We started a new tradition this year. Our oldest son is names Adam and he has a cousin with the middle name Eve. We always joke at Christmas time that there isn't anything for him even though Adam came before Eve. So this year on Christmas Adam we let the kids bring all the presents out to put under the tree.<br /><br />For Christmas Eve the kids get to open one present from a sibling and then we all open our new pjs. The whole week we eat tons of junk food, play board games, and do crafts. It's seriously the best week of the year.
