All of our lives are filled with precious traditions
Brought down through each member of the family
Creating myriad memories
Decorating every prickly branch of the tree
Eating freshly baked gingerbread cookies
Frosting ethereal cakes
Giving brightly wrapped gifts
Having the best of times with guests and relatives
Illuminating trees and rooftops with twinkling lights
Joyful Christmas carols ring through the chilly air
Kindling excitement and laughter in little children
Lights strung carefully from the warm, inviting, house
Mistletoe will catch you at the most unsuspected times
Newborn baby Jesus celebrated on the 25th
Ornaments dangle and shine from each branch
Presents exchanged to greatly loved friends and family members
Quietly tip-toeing downstairs to sneak a peak of Santa Clause
Reading “The Night Before Christmas”
Santa sliding down your chimney with his ginormous bag of toys
Traditions last forever
