#7: Christmas Memories

This Christmas is our first together, and we're excited to start our own traditions and create memories. As we've been getting to know each other, we've shared a lot of the traditions our families have, and we've recalled memories from Christmases past. We have many different traditions, but one tradition we share is the way we line up for Christmas morning to get presents. As tradition goes, we line up in the hallway, and then dad leads us to the living room. Stockings are always first! Then we open gifts, sometimes one at a time, sometimes all at once.

Another tradition is reading the Christmas story from the scriptures. What better way can we welcome the Christmas spirit than to read the story from the direct source?!

We love that we have a few similar traditions and look forward to creating our own. We've really enjoyed sharing traditions and memories from the past, and I know there will be many more to come!
