That Thanksgiving has come and gone and the flurry of the Christmas holiday begins. Yet before turkey, we had a birthday dinner party two days before. At the request of the birthday boy, we had cheese cake. No surprise, since it's been that way for at least the past twenty years! Tradition, one would say. However, this year was almost disastrous. I cannot remember ever having a failed cheese cake, not so this birthday. After many tears and a trip to the grocery store, another one was baked and it was delicious! A sweet little tradition was started with the scrabble pieces. Every one took turns thinking of words with the Happy Birthday letters. Oh my, the words and fun.
Thanksgiving was wonderful...easy for me to say, I just fixed a cranberry salad and spent the day with a nice glass of wine or two. Lucky me. Yes, lucky me...the teen grandgirl spent the night and helped set up the tree. Another tradition that is so loved!
I hope to concentrate on the "Traditions" rather than the "so much to do" this year. Thank you to those of you that drop by and leave a comment....they're always appreciated. Now I have two questions for you...

What are your Holiday Traditions and are you addicted to Pinterest too? Gosh, could I call that a Tradition?

It's early, and I'm still drinking my coffee, but two traditions we have/had are we always open our gifts on Christmas Eve, and an ornament was purchased each year for our daughters who are now all adults. They have a collection for their own Christmas trees now from the year they were born.
Enjoy your weekend!
I like the idea of focusing on traditions--I need to remember that.
