All three create their own christmas traditions and some carry on those we have shared as a family.

Maybe they appreciate all the home traditions once they have their own place? My youngest (10) is exploding with excitement, more that Big Bro is coming home than anything, as she doesn't like any of the festive food except carrots!!! (That's easy, then!) Good luck with yours!

...Meg: "It's so dreadful to be poor".<br /><br />Anyway, nice tree. The Man Child is definitely luke warm about the whole thing but the Queenager is beside herself. We are in the midst of a massive snow storm here (USA)and the temperature Thursday will be in the single digits (farenheit, mind you). I'm dreading it, but not her.<br /><br />My mother was toying with the idea of not putting her tree up this year (because it didn't go with the new decor). I just wront "Bah humbug" in an e-mail and apparently she's changed her mind, put it up and even admits it looks nice.Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.com
