Some of the ones I enjoy most are the ones I'm not even aware are "traditions". Meaning - they have become traditions for one or another of my kids and I don't realize its a tradition. Here's one - about 2-3 years ago we set up Christmas tree up in the middle of the living room. It had no furniture (recent divorce). We had a blast dancing around the tree stringing lights. Around and around. Now every year, my daughter asked to do this because she had so much fun. Holiday family traditions are so comforting.

We did Christmas decorating the Monday before Thanksgiving - it's so nice to have them done. No traditions here, other than drinking hot cocoa and listening to Christmas music. Sometimes if it's really crazy I spike the cocoa with a little Bailey's :) Did you like Atonement?

Must get back on track! This time of year, it is difficult to "keep up the pace." I've been writing more than reading...not sure if that is good or bad!

Shhh. Last year was the first year in our new house too but I think most everything ended up in the same spot as last year. Fun traditions as far as decorations? We do not allow my husband to stand on the roof. He has fallen off twice and denied doing so each time. My son and I could barely contain ourselves when it happened a coupe years back in our one story house. We have a two-story now so ladders are not an option. All decorating must be done from the ground.

I LOVED Attonment as a movie BUT the book was FAR FAR better I suggest you read it. I loved it so much I bought two more Ian McEwan books and was saddly disapointed. But, Attonment will always make my top 20. I just read your comment on the movie vs book review. I LOVED Attonment as a movie BUT the book was FAR FAR better I suggest you read it.
