Christmas Traditions

Enjoying the Season

Since moving to Vermont 10 years ago, some new traditions have developed for the holidays. First I must say that Thanksgiving is our family's major holiday.The kids and grandkids begin to arrive on Wednesday and the last ones leave on Sunday afternoon.  Everyone's favorite holiday!!!

But when Christmas comes along we seem to have different traditions.My husband is a Pastor so much of the time during this holiday is centered around church-life.  We have a blended family of eight kids and 16 grand-kids and it seems that the tradition has become to come and visit the folks between Christmas Eve and New Years Day and whatever else you do you must get outside and have some fun because it is beautiful. The picture above is our little village taken from the hill behind our house where we all go sledding. 
Kinda like a Currier and Ives eh?

This is my youngest son Seth trying out his new snowshoes. As long as you keep moving you will not get cold! I am also snowshoeing with him but as usual I am taking the pictures.

Two of the girls sledding. Last year they received snowboards for Christmas but it was so cold the day we tried them out the camera kept shutting down and the pictures didn't come out. I have a few more to show but I will do that with my next post. Make sure you stop back to Beverly's Pink Saturday post to get a list of all the other participants on this our Christmas Traditions Post. Enjoy your family traditions and the wonders of the season.Have the Merriest of Christmases Ever .
Much Love Meg
