Christmas Traditions

Christmas traditions new and old are what make Christmas Christmas. Though we tried to mobilize many of our traditions during our Christmases spent in Oregon, I must admit that this year feels more like Christmas than the past few. It feels amazing to be Christmasing in NC, specifically in Carrboro, this year.

Here's a new tradition...walking to get our tree.

A New and Old tradition- putting this scarf on as many animals and people as possible in myriad funny ways.
Old Tradition- Edie smooches
Old Tradition: decorate the tree with Cold Mountain Winter Ale from Highland Brewery and listen to Sufjan Stevens' Christmas CD. Usually, I decorate and Jason makes peanut gallery comments
Newish tradition: making ornaments out of pictures and random pieces of cardboard. Since our movers lost all of our Christmas ornaments in our move to Oregon 3 years ago, we've had to slowly collect/make new ones.
