Well, I am sorry I have not posted for awhile. I have been a little busy, but here is my families Christmas traditions. Each year all the people that are over six in my family go skiing at Alt ski resort. The only people who do not ski right now is my mom and Rayanna. We ski all day and then we drive home and have dinner or go out to dinner.
Most of our Christmas dinners were at home and we would turn all the lights off and light candles, but know we are starting a new tradition. Going out to Red Iguana. After our lovely dinner we come home and open surprise balls.
My Grandma Roylance makes the surprise balls. They are wrapped in crape paper and you start from the top and pull! As you pull toys and other fun things come out, but once you turn 12 you no longer get a surprise ball. You just get a note with 15 dollars in it. Which is a great present too! Another gift we open is new P.J's each year.
Then we say goodbye to Winkie. Each year we have this little elf called Winkie. He arrives at our house at the beginning of December and each night does one mischievous thing. Then on Christmas eve Winkie goes back tho the north pole with Santa. ;)
"Holiday Inn" is the movie we watch on Christmas eve. It is a great movie!After the movie we set out our stockings, put cookies and milk for Santa, 9 carrots for the Reindeer, a slice of cheese for Santa Mouse, and a note! Then we check the Santa tracker. Read a story about Jesus Christ birth and then go to bed!
