Christmas Traditions

I think I have blogged about this before, but I really want to have distinct Christmas traditions established in my life.....and yet I haven't found anything new that has really 'stuck' yet.....here's what I've got so far:

1.  I always set up my tree/decorations in early November so that I can enjoy them for the longest time possible.

2.  I always give myself the gift of a massage a day or two before Christmas (been doing that for about 5 years now).

3.  I put the old fashioned wood decoration that plays "Jingle Bells" with the pull of a string in my bedroom (one of the only decorations that I put upstairs) and look at it and play it often.  It used to hang in the hallway, just down from my bedroom, all of the years that I was growing up in our New Hope house.  It reminds me of simpler days as a kid and I absolutely love it - I just have to be gentle and careful with it because if it broke, I would be really sad.....

One of my goals this year is to start a new Christmas tradition and add it to the list......what will it be???
