I had been thinking of a New Tradition I wanted to start with the kids this year. Its called On the 12th day till Christmas my Momma gave to me... I thought this would be a fun way to count down the last few days of Christmas together. Each day we change the number as we count down. I put 12 little bags on the window sill and each morning when they come down for breakfast they can check the bag for a goodie. The first morning was a card telling of the idea and a little love note along with a snow globe. Nicks was a Charlie Brown snow globe that he really liked. We have been saying to each other for a couple years now Me- " your a good man Charlie Brown" to which he replys " your a good girl Lucile." So far they have gotten the snow globes, a baby picture from Christmas 1998 along with a couple choc. kisses, a small box of chocolates wrapped up. And this morning each received a coupon - Mak for Breakfast in bed, Nick - we will call him your Royal Highness and salute him for one whole day and Alli she has 1 hour where it is all about her! That was a big hit. They really like the snow on the windows to be sure. It does add a certain something to the whole thing. Merry Christmas Ho Ho Ho Only 9 days.
