"What are some Christmas traditions that you enjoy?" - Anon
I have always liked the tradition of right after everyone is done digesting Thanksgiving dinner, mom would always throw on her Christmas music and we would all start decorating the tree as a family. Since my brother is now in the Army and I live on my own, it's not something we really get to do much anymore, but just thinking about it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I've always liked helping to decorate the tree every year. Also, it was always my job to set up the manger. I would get very upset if anyone else tried to.
A tradition that I've always been interested in was kissing under the mistletoe. I have never gotten to do this personally, but the romantic in me has always been interested in trying this out. Also caroling, or wassailing, has been an interest in mine, and I've only gotten to do it once. Believe it or not we got to go on a caroling field trip my senior year in high school. We spent the entire day out at a retirement home singing and keeping the old folks happy and giving them some companionship. It gave me a really nice warm feeling.
