a few other things here and there.

What is "normal" to your Christmas but not universal?

our fireplace in the living room.

the list is long, but my favorites are Little Women (Winona Ryder) and Miracle on 34th Street (Natalie Wood).
What do you miss about Christmas from your childhood?
getting together with the whole family (Maddens, O'Briens, etc.)
my grandma.
What things from your childhood Christmas have you brought into your adult life?
good cooking.

Is there anything you do everyday in December.....besides journal?
my mom gifted us with a wonderful Story of Christmas Advent Calendar a few years ago and we read one part of the story every day and then hang it on the tree.
we also have an advent calendar for the kids and they open a box each day (a little note, a goody, a fun thing to do for the day, etc...)
Happy Wednesday.
