Along with wonderful memories of the dozens of Christmases spent on my grandparents farm in Tennessee, the one tradition that has remained is spending a cozy night with Bing, Rosemary, Vera-Ellen and Danny. The nostalgia that "White Christmas" evokes stays with me long after Christmas is over. No Christmas would be complete for me without watching “White Christmas” at least twice!

Most of christian people are celebrating Christmas. It is our tradition not only giving gift but giving love to each other to show how much we love God. Thanks for this informative article.

It seems you are really in the spirit of Christmas. That gives me motivation to decorate the tree, which has been sitting naked, except for 2 paper ornaments my granddaughter made for it this year, since the Saturday after Thanksgiving. (And I thought was getting a jump on things!) Out of town packages got mailed yesterday and the local shopping is all but done. I'm still wading through items to list on eBay (Christmas items, no less!), with the fervent hope that all is done by the time we go to Universal Studios right after Christmas, returning in time to close on our new house. Traditions? Probably that nothing gets done on time! I am a procrastinator of the first degree. And even though I have to take the tree down right after Christmas, it is imperative that the kids and grandkids have a tree to sit around to open presents. At least I have a female dog now, and not the male who peed on the tree when I was a kid. There must be stockings, and they must be the first things opened on Christmas Day. My mother-in-law had never had a stocking, nor had my son-in-law, so they each received a needlepointed one from me. This year I'm sewing pjs for my granddaughter's American Girl doll, with a patch to be sewn on. The patch has the doll's name on it, and a matching patch with my granddaughter's name on it will be sewn onto store-bought pjs for her. There's something else that seems to be tradition with me--sewing something at the last minute. Now I shall not procrastinate further (this minute). I will sign off, and (maybe) accomplish something today. Merry Christmas to you! Michelle,
