Christmas 2007

Christmas is our favorite holiday in my family. The holiday preparations always start the day after Thanksgiving, and instead of going shopping (I wouldn’t be caught dead shopping on the day after Thanksgiving; I hate crowds), we decorate. Before we had the children, this could be finished within half a day or so but now takes longer because the whole project is constantly interrupted by taking care of the kids. Still, we adhere to our Christmas traditions because, on my side of the family at least, traditions are important, a measure of familial security.
