I was wondering if you would take a look at my husbands new site www.whollyromancounseling.com He is just beginning a Catholic counseling private practice and we would like to get the word Katienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691883299905666578.post-2310401302551722352009-12-18T14:12:27.483-06:002009-12-18T14:12:27.483-06:00At our house, I'm the one who gets up at 4:30,...At our house, I'm the one who gets up at 4:30, but I know all about snoring husbands and frequent night-time nursings!Nadjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11092566609789390592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691883299905666578.post-88353093827531945252009-12-18T14:09:30.581-06:002009-12-18T14:09:30.581-06:00Good afternoon!

We do so much with Advent as well as visiting with family and friends before Christmas Day, that our tradition has become to keep things low-key and easy. We attend the Christmas Eve Vigil, and the children are allowed to open one gift before bed. Also, earlier in the day, cookies are baked for Santa! And, as I already mentioned to you, on Christmas Day, we are doing a deli Mom2Sevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16556390705963609169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691883299905666578.post-42692504933581775452009-12-18T14:07:25.107-06:002009-12-18T14:07:25.107-06:00It is my general impression, though I have only li...It is my general impression, though I have only lived in Iowa, that the American tradition is to put up your Christmas tree right after Thanksgiving. This is what my husband and I did as kids. As adults, however, we have been putting up our tree no earlier than the week of Christmas and taking it down no earlier than Epiphany. As kids we did at least keep the tree up through New Years Day. <Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15487981744985093038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691883299905666578.post-84093285573190966302009-12-18T12:40:33.138-06:002009-12-18T12:40:33.138-06:00In the Southwest, Tamales are the traditional Chri...In the Southwest, Tamales are the traditional Christmas Eve dish but they are hard to make meat free, LOL!<br /><br />I'm planning to make a pasta salad this year - I got snowflake shaped noodles - but that's not a tradition. It's just going to be easiest for busy schedules, I can make it ahead, and it will be a good lunch/snack on Christmas because we don't eat the big dinner Milehimama @ Mama Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04755353355022539817noreply@blogger.com
