Holiday Traditions
-
Every year we make christmas cookies at my moms and my daughter gets so excited that she sounds like this looks....
my son like doctoring photos on the edit app"The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today...The whole future lies in uncertainty: Live immediately."

Another new tradition for the family is visiting Winter City in Olney.
This somehow did not frighten the younguns....

@WhiskeySandwich ...it's not Christmas until the kids are higher than a kite on sugar and mom/dad have the hangover of all hangovers...joy
-
@goosehd sounds about right, yup!
-
@endo Thats also how you get a mondo hangover
-
a little yo-yo is fine @goosehd, and don't tell me about hangovers @WhiskeySandwich I'm an expert

Elf on the shelf is something we never got into in our household. The kids don't know about it, and we don't feel like worrying about remembering to set it up.
-
@chrisjohnnick yeah I get this. We’re basically prisoners to the elf for a month. But once you start there’s no going back. Kinda like IH
-
I remember my sister telling me about it when they started doing it for my nephews 10 or so years ago, and I just thought "Nah, that ain't for me"
-
I don’t know of any of you do this with your elf but for one day she shows up in an empty plastic container, like for peanuts or something, so the kids can carry her around. Usually on a day we do something out like looking at lights or whatever.
One year she made a surprise visit on St Patrick’s day when the kids try to catch a leprechaun. She was in the trap dressed in green. The kids freaked all the way out.
hope this is a tradition which takes off, can already imagine the morning panic after forgetting to move him
