I know that we'll all struggle with the holidays and thought maybe it would help if we shared some of our family traditions.
My husband and I have 4 kids and 8 grands. I also have two sons-in-law, so there's a bunch of us. There's always that empty place at the table, tho.
One thing we like to do (and the grands won't let me not do it) is the Night Before Christmas game. Everyone gets a little wrapped gift ($1 store stuff) and while Grandpa reads the poem we listen carefully. When the word "and" is read we pass the gifts. It gets silly at parts of the poem, there are several "ands" in a row. It's just a way for us all to be together and smiling.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I plan on keeping the holidays simple, but packed with serenity. My cat agrees:)
Thanks for sharing in your family traditions here everyone!
