Braeton & Dadda 2004 Christmas Traditions
Here at the Davis & Miller house, we have a few Christmas traditions that we've been enjoying this month of Dec....We get the tree and decorate the day after Thanksgiving, out comes the Christmas music (which Luke insists cannot be played before that day =). On family night we make a snowman cake and dress him with yummy candy, we watch fun Christmas movies, paint our own wrapping paper or gift bags (the kids always love giving gifts with the wrapping paper they have made), count down the days to Christmas with the Christmas Story calander. Oh and I must add that on Christmas morning all the stocking stuffers are wrapped in crazy ways so that the gifts are hard to figure out, we all have a competition to see who can get the most right (thanks mom for the endless hours of taping!). We hide the pickle ornament ( yes a pickle- don't tell me you haven't heard that before!) in the tree and whoever gets it receives an extra gift from mom. We sing, we read from the book of Luke, take turns opening gifts, its grand just being together.
It's great to have fun traditions, they bring us together and remind us of the ulitmate treasure we have in Christ. This year we will add a new one.
This year we will write notes and color pictures of special memories with our Micah Man. Things we did together, things he gave us, what he taught us... on Christmas Eve we'll pull down his stocking and take turns reminiscing, reading and remembering our little treasure and all God has given us through him.
We'd love to invite you to share in this time with us with us, if you have a special memory of our "Micah J" or a story of how he touched your life we'd love to hear from you and place your note in his stocking too. We anitcipate this being a very special time for our family, we'll post some stories to share with you too! Thanks!
I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, Phil 1:3
