Every family has their holiday traditions. One of my favorite is the little advent tree to the left. I got it many years ago at Sam’s Club. It has 24 tiny draws in the base each holding a simple ornament. Every day starting on December 1st the kids put on an ornament, come Christmas morning it’s all decorated.
Another holiday tradition is coffee cake. This is a time honored recipe Sheila, my mother-in-law passed on many years ago. It’s fairly simple and enjoyed by all.
As many of you know our middle son, Derek is a music major at University Massachusetts Lowell. He is a percussionist. Below is a present he received from a friend. I suspect he will accumulate many percussion related items over the years.
The other event that makes Christmas doubly special for us is that it’s Mark, our first born’s, birthday. This year he turned 25. It’s hard to believe. You may have noticed that many of our posts are devoid of people pictures. My family is very camera shy starting with me. We’ll have to work on that in 2010, just one of the many resolutions I have rolling around in my head right now.
