A few days ago, a fellow basketball wife and friend of mine, Erin, posted about the importance of traditions in making holidays special. Her post really has me thinking about the traditions I enjoy and what makes the holidays special to me (including and besides Jesus’ birth) and how that has changed through the years. I think I have only blogged about one that I can remember– Salem Christmas. It is a holiday tradition that really touches my heart, but it didn’t happen when I was a young child. It was revived when I was a bit older (high school maybe? Grandma??). I feel like the more I am away from where I grew up and my family there, the more I forget the old traditions– the ones that make me smile in remembrance, so I am going to try to post a few over the next few weeks.
Salem Christmas 2004-- it was too cold to snow!
Check out my “other” blog for the contest part. I enjoy traffic here, but I prefer to keep contests primarily on the other blog. I hope you understand.
