I know that I’m probably beating a dead horse. But in the spirit of the holidays, and the hard work that Princess and I put into making the Christmas video clip below, I figure what they heck.
I’ve written about the dilemma my hubby and I had regarding how we wanted to celebrate the holiday. We struggled with whether or not to give in to having our kids believe in Santa. Through much debate we decided, why not? The kids will only be kids once, so we might as well play along. With that said, I’ve been thinking about other ways to celebrate Christmas. Like previous years, Princess helped daddy decorate the tree.
We also open gifts on Christmas morning.
Now that Baby O has joined our family, I’m trying to come up with ways to incorporate him into the festivities too. For starters, we made footprints that we’ll add to holiday decorations.
We’ll be taking Christmas pictures this weekend, and doing some other fun crafty things. Baking cookies for Santa is a must this year, along with attending church on Christmas morning. I also plan on introducing the kids to Boxing Day, something we celebrated back home in Jamaica.
I’ve better get a move on it, Christmas is just around the corner.
Please share some of your holiday traditions?
I loved the video! Princess is too sweet! “Mommy I did it all by myself” – ummm I think I saw a hand in the video help her out? LOL! Kids are so funny 🙂 I once did Boxing Day with a Jamaican family in Canada and it was a lot of fun! I hope your kids enjoy it too. Our tradition is spending time with multiple sides of the family a week before Christmas (father-in law’s side), Christmas Eve (mother-in law’s side & my side) and Christmas Day (hubby’s side &/or my side). This year, though, there’s a brand new baby in family (the very first), so it’s going to be extra-extra special!
Love the video and Baby O’s little chunky leg and foot getting stamped. Too cute!
lol. I know. hehe. Congrats on the new baby.
