…my true loves gave to me…
Christmas Eve!
Generations of tradition; life-times of tradition; traditions being taught; traditions being learned; traditions passed down, tweaked, changed, and followed. This is, for us, the most tradition-filled day of our year.
The centerpiece of our day: a campfire in MorMor and MorFar’s back yard. Roasted hot dogs and an “outdoor refrigerator”; friends and neighbors stopping by; glogg and s’mores; playing in the woods and field~~
The Christmas Eve finery~~
The centerpiece of the Swedish Christmas Cultural Tradition: The Swedish Smorgasbord~~
The centerpiece of the Lutheran Christmas Religious Tradition: Christmas Eve Church Service~~
The centerpiece of the late night: into pjs, notes and cookies for Santa, and MorFar’s reading of The Night Before Christmas~~
“‘Happy Christmas to all! And to all a good-night!'”
Beautiful outfits! Love traditions
