I am glad Chris' family doesnt have any traditions because us Stowells are full of traditions and I would not like to change any of them! :)Jenn https://www.blogger.com/profile/10128921383349761578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237689561850714958.post-22889472139728047482007-12-22T20:21:00.000-05:002007-12-22T20:21:00.000-05:00I SOOOOOOO love these pictures.

Its SOOO great. HEE!!! I love picturing Spencer getting up at 4:00. Jake and I also have our holiday differences.

But actually getting the tree picked out and getting it home has never been a big deal. Whoever is home that afternoon just goes to the lot with Dave or I and grabs a tree. Dave finally confessed that he HATES the way we do that. Picking a tree out should be a big family event and always was when he was growing up. Go figure, . . . after 22 years of marriage, we're still having Christmas tradition issues.<BR/>We have had a tradition naturally evolve over the years. Santa used to do a big display set-up to get the "wow" effect as the kids came in on Christmas morning. The minute they all passed that "I believe in Santa Claus" age, all the presents got wrapped under the tree. I think we just got too old and tired to stay up all night.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05486974603188226044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237689561850714958.post-71674287040732240412007-12-22T08:35:00.000-05:002007-12-22T08:35:00.000-05:00I love it.

Traditions are funny it has been interesting to see the differences and similarities between Brian and my family. We will see what happens this year now that it is just us. Traci Santa only wrapped a few presents in our house. (It was sometimes in the same paper that my parents had wrapped their's in, whoops)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13271477480342677209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237689561850714958.post-46295587994445638742007-12-21T23:46:00.000-05:002007-12-21T23:46:00.000-05:00I had a strong desire to start some good old famil...I had a strong desire to start some good old family traditions this year...but its going to be kind of hard since cameron has to work Christmas eve and christmas day (thats a tradition I dont want to get used to)...so maybe next year!

I'm glad you've found things that work for you. <BR/><BR/>I love the Christmas Eve Eve idea. That is the same thing we were trying to accomplish when dad took you kids skiing on Christmas Eve. My dad used to turn down the heater so the house was colder. He swore it made us sleep more soundly.Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113183271850730416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237689561850714958.post-58079819174462728932007-12-21T22:22:00.000-05:002007-12-21T22:22:00.000-05:00Fun!

Growing up, Santa always brought our presents and laid them out in our own pile. In Bryce's family Santa always brought their presents wrapped. Spending Christmas with Bryce's parents this year, and being told that it's mandatory that Kayla's presents be wrapped, I felt like giving Bryce a good Christmas punch in the nose. I guess since she won't remember it any way it's not that big a deal so I better go and start wrapping.Lishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081409774609038942noreply@blogger.com
