RMan is of German decent, and I am of English birth, thus, when we had our first child, we decided that we would combine our Christmas celebrations to embrace both sets of Christmas traditions. This resulted in our having our main Christmas meal the night before - on Christmas Eve - instead of at lunchtime during the heat of the day on Christmas Day.
So may I take this opportunity before the rush of preparing for our Christmas meal on Tuesday of wishing each and everyone of my readers and very Happy, Peaceful, relaxed Christmas, filled with love and contentment, and celebrated within the Spirit of Christmas.

| I found this wooden Nativity scene many years ago when our children were very small - it was in plain wood, so I painted it. It has been a centrepoint in all our Christmas decorations. After all - there would be no Christmas without the birth of Christ having happened over 2000 years ago. |
Merry Christmas Dani.

DeleteWhat a lovely idea - to combine Christmas traditions. It is important for children to know their heritage. Merry Christmas, from my house to yours.
ReplyDeleteVicki - I couldn't agree with you more.
DeleteI, too, love being able to travetse this planet through mine and all of your blogs. From my house to yours is very apt - thank you :)
May the Spirit of what the celebration stands for, be forever in our hearts and minds. Be at peace and enjoy your off time!
