We are absolutely loving the Christmas season and have enjoyed spending it with our little Princess. A few traditions we have started since founding Zak and Heidi Kamm Oct 2007 are:
1. Christmas Vacation- we watch this movie with Chevy Chase (sometimes more then once) before Christmas Day, typically on Christmas Eve. It really is an activity we both enjoy, until Z starts to say all of the lines before the actors do.
2. Christmas Eve Service- we love to get dressed up and attend Christmas Eve service (even if it's a day or two before Christmas). It reminds us what Christmas is truely about.
3. One gift before Christmas Day! This is my favorite! We open one gift the night before Christmas. Since Santa hasn't come yet, it's typically a gift from family.
4. Hiding one gift- This is something the Bradbury's have always done, and is so much fun. The "big" gift is hidden, and after all the gifts under the tree are opened there are clues for each family member. There are usually 5 which lead to the "big" gift. It's a great way to spend time together as a family...unless Papa Bradbury wrote the clues and you probably won't find your gift until later that evening!
5. Reading the Bible- we read the 'Christmas' the morning of Christmas before opening any gifts.
Please share any traditions you or loved ones do over the holidays!
