We have a neat Christmas tradition that we have been observing since Christopher was a baby. We owe it to Aunt Joanna and my mom (but I think mostly to Aunt Joanna). I was supposed to go to a workshop with them to make a Jesse Tree, but couldn't make it when I was pregnant with CBT. I was on bedrest and couldn't travel. So....they made it for me. It's a precious felt hanging (a tree) to which you add adornments each night for about a month before Christmas. There's a scripture reading and a short devotional reading to go with it that tell a story about the picture that is being hung. It finishes on Christmas morning and our boys (and sometimes all four of us when I'm not taking pictures) hang it together.
It's a neat way to remind us the reason we celebrate. I would love to hear any favorite traditions you have. (Come on...it's not too painful to click on Post Comment. I don't ask often, but I feel sure some of you have some really cool things that others would love to hear.)
