I did not grow up with a heavy holiday tradition. Once I became a teenager, if the tree went up, it was because I put it up. Christmas was just not a big deal.

So, when I married, my 'new family' introduced me to just how wonderful Christmas could be. It was amazing! The food.....the gifts.....the deocrations.....

And I kept that alive after the marriage.....my girls each had their own tree growing up, along with our family tree.....we had favorite dishes which were expected on the table ~ Aunt Olive's Raspberry Surprise, my former mother~in~law's dressing, corn pudding........stockings filled with all manner of things, from nuts to stationary,to silly things......and special ornaments for each of us each year ~ some I made.

This year will be interesting as my "baby" won't be coming home for Christmas this year. But that tree is up, by God!
