The first one he came up with was that we have bacon, egg and cheese biscuits Christmas morning. I guess out of all of our traditions that's his favorite!!Elena Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00034030849453783732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-87420955476994953652010-12-18T12:08:49.288-05:002010-12-18T12:08:49.288-05:00farsiDear Marie, Thanks for you contribution.......farsiDear Marie, Thanks for you contribution....Mimosas sound great. who'd care about presents after a few of those?

Interesting post. I loved reading it.
...Hi Jean,<br /><br />Interesting post. I loved reading it.<br /><br />Well, ours are a mix of English and German traditions.<br /><br />Thankfully we have an English shop here so I can get mince pies and Christmas pud.<br /><br />The hubby has to have his marzipan, stollen, real tree with real candles.<br /><br />I want everyone to have a cracker at the dinner table to pull, which my hubby thinks is hilarious...hehe!!! Oh well.<br /><br />Dinner is usually turkey with all the trimmings and we open presents on the night of the 24th...which is a German thing. The English open theirs on the morning of the 25th...I think this was our first marital argument...lol!!!<br /><br />Oh, and the nativity story is always read from the Bible before we open our presents.<br /><br />Valerie<br />in GermanyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-69260532794011843212010-12-17T14:21:08.381-05:002010-12-17T14:21:08.381-05:00Jean, I love your Grandmother's tradition. You...Jean, I love your Grandmother's tradition. You keep her close to your heart when you honor her that way.<br />I get up early every Christmas morning and make pancakes and bacon for my family and sit under the tree to eat it while our dog begs. (Don't worry the dog gets plenty! lol)<br />XXOO KatKatalina Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04792533045672712045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-69161328293407187652010-12-17T13:52:10.529-05:002010-12-17T13:52:10.529-05:00I've never heard that verse before Jean, how n...I've never heard that verse before Jean, how neat! I'll have to find a bayberry candle and try it:)<br /><br />The only tradition I can think of is our Christmas morning ritual.<br /><br />We always start with the stockings, then attack the presents under the tree. And at my parent's house, there will always be a Ding-Dong in the stocking. Why? Because my sister and I LOVED Ding-Dongs, and it made a quick snack before Mom was awake enough to make breakfast.<br /><br />We also started a tradition of having friends over on Christmas Eve. I put out several appetizers, and people bring whatever they want. Since we're going out of town this year, one of my friends is hosting this year. I put on the Christmas CD, and the hubby brings out his entire collection of Scrooge movies. Nice, relaxing evening with friends:)Molly Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488325587798390008noreply@blogger.com
