She is spending the night so before bed we will have her place wooden shoes by the door with carrots and sugar for Sinterklas' horse. During the night Sinterklas will come and bring a present for each sleeping girl or boy. We have the storybook to read to her as well. An old tradition for our family's youngest member. servedogmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18051891451657688679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175574572567889638.post-76444705150839730202015-12-03T22:40:21.762-05:002015-12-03T22:40:21.762-05:00Thank you for joining Marian and me today.

But the problem was we live on the prairie of South Dakota. Not too many Christmas trees to be found. But my parents came up with a solution. They bought a tree in town and Dad hid it on our farm. Somewhere on our acreage. Then on a Saturday before Christmas we were told to go find it. It was great. Sometimes we found it quickly, sometimes we trudged through quite a bit of snow before we found it. But we came home with our perfect tree!<br /><br />ElaineE246 at msn dot comElainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763798679540499585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175574572567889638.post-72155987836670508492015-12-03T18:02:48.552-05:002015-12-03T18:02:48.552-05:00There's not many traditions since it's jus...There's not many traditions since it's just me and the hubby and the furbabies----but the one we do have it to always decorate the house on the day after Thanksgiving.<br />suefarrell.farrell@gmail.comSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09818034894506030163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175574572567889638.post-69474641429756686792015-12-03T14:17:02.190-05:002015-12-03T14:17:02.190-05:00Thank you for joining Marian and me today.

We use to all, kids.grandkids, etc., were required to be at his house with the bio-mom. We made taffy every year. And each person helped pulling, cutting, and packaging. All that is gone and my estranged siblings play one-up- manship to host the strained get-together.

The menu is normally some sort of meat (Steak, Ham or Turkey) and Crab legs. It is my mom's choice of menu since it is her day. It is normally my sister, my husband, son and I along with my mom on Christmas Day. <br />Marie McKenneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175574572567889638.post-48188589314357586712015-12-03T13:06:56.625-05:002015-12-03T13:06:56.625-05:00Thank you for joining Marian and me today.
