Traditions: As we reflect on this holiday season it seems sometimes we get so busy we don’t even share in what the season’s about. I know a lot of families have traditions they do with family that we would love to share just call or like us on Facebook. Here are a couple of ours: For Thanksgiving after having dinner with family we take in a holiday movie, on Christmas Eve we would always read The Night Before Christmas with someone usually acting it out and on Christmas morning singing “Happy Birthday” to Jesus with a cake in one hand and baby Jesus in another. Happy holidays.
