My family has made it so special over the years---
--As kids we all slept in front of the tree the first night we got it and on Christmas Eve! My sister and I still do that! :)
--Putting up the tree was always one of my favorite things. We would go pick out the tree together as a family and then bring it back to the house, turn on Christmas music, and open all our boxes of ornaments and decorate our tree. And then we would turn off all the lights except for the lights on the tree, and we would just sit on the couch and stare at it.
This year I started making some fun Christmas words for decoration. I bought a ton of fun Christmas paper and then just thought of all the Christmas-y words that I could. Here are some pictures.



Today my church back home had a craft fair and my mom took the word banners to sell them at the craft fair. Everyone was loving them--so fun! I made some holiday spending money. They're fun to hang on a tree, or use to wrap a present, or hang on the wall! I made one for our house, too. I'm taking custom orders so let me know if you want one! ;)
It's our first married Christmas and I know it's going to be so special. We get to buy our first Christmas tree, hang our first set of Christmas lights, and over-decorate our house!!! I can't wait. We get to start once we get home from Thanksgiving.Tell me your favorite family traditions, and recipes, and memories. I love to hear the different ways everyone celebrates!
