A Christmas Tradition


Christmas is a time of tradition, and each family has their own.

But, when you start your own family, part of the fun of Christmas becomes in beginning your own new traditions.

And, although adults like to think they set the traditions, the best traditions often begin with little to no input from the adults.


Especially when you have a daughter who likes to keep Santa in line.

So, is it really up to us to set new traditions? Or do the best memories and traditions just create themselves?

The photo from this year still makes me smile!

I think the best traditions create themselves, no forcing, no pressure... those are the ones I love the most.

I love it! What an awesome tradition. (And I agree, some just make themselves, and they are often the best.) xo

I think (like the best nights out) the most long-lasting and cherished traditions are unplanned and frequently instigated by children.

Our tradition of drinking coffee and eating Santa cookies under the early morning Christmas tree stemmed from sleepless baby nights - and it's something we still do (not so much out of necessity any more!).

LOVE how Abbey is totally maximising that throne! What a cutie.

This is great, I found you through the Maxabella Grateful Saturday list and have just posted a similar piece myself on the creation of traditions! www.suburbansonnet.blogspot.com if you would like to check it out.

Oh, this photo is SO funny! It's like she's saying, 'Hey you - guy with the beard - you sit over there. Ok? I'm takin' the chair."

Classic.
