Christmas Music Player

It may seem a little early to be planning a Christmas get-together but taking into consideration that we only have 8 Fridays til Christmas, we may need to get busy.

I overheard my wife Randi and her sister Hannah (who recently moved to Tuscaloosa) talking about Christmas Eve a couple nights ago. This year will be different than any Christmas Eve in her life. Every year since Randi was born, her family has gathered at her grandparents house in Pine Hill, Al on Christmas Eve. There was always a ton of food, the little kids opened gifts from Granny and Paw and folks spent time around a bond fire telling stories and catching up with family members. It was a night the entire family looked forward to.

This year will be different. Her grandparents have moved and the house is sold. Granny and Paw are in their late 70's and now live with their daughter in another town.There will be no Christmas Eve at their house.

Randi and Hannah were discussing family traditions and what people do on or near the holidays that the kids will remember and look forward to every year. Aside from cooking a meal, what are some fun traditions you and your family have?
