Holiday Traditions

I'm always looking for fun holiday traditions. We love decorating gingerbread houses, making sugar cookies, making fresh pine wreaths and buying sub for Santa gifts to name a few. Actually to be honest, it stresses the heck out of me but hopefully my kids will remember Christmas as a magical time of year full of family activities. This year we started a new tradition. Every night just before bed we read Christmas stories by candle light. The kids loved it.....I think they were a little more enthralled with the candle than some of the stories but at least they enjoyed it.
