As a child we had certain holiday traditions, like leaving cookies out for Santa, making cookies with my mother and cooking certain foods for Christmas. I started a few new things that I am trying to make traditions for my little one and family, like cooking a seafood meal on Christmas Eve, making homemade cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning, watching a Christmas Story on Christmas, putting up my Christmas tree on Thanksgiving weekend, having a craft party for Gabrielle and her friends, taking Gabrielle to see the lights at the zoo and making a new homemade ornament to add to the tree each year. There are a few things that I would like to start this year; Elf on the Shelf: I purchased one last year at the end of the season and going to do this year with Miss G. I think that she is three now, she should understand the concept. Christmas in Miss G room: Last year I just did holiday linens, but this year we have done her own personalized tree. Of course everything on it
